Description
Book SynopsisSoon to be a major Netflix series!
When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co.
Trade ReviewThis story will keep you reading late into the night, but you'll want to leave the lights on.
Stroud is a genius at inventing an utterly believable world which is very much like ours, but so creepily different.
Put The Screaming Staircase on your 'need to read' list. * Rick Riordan *
The book is genuinely
spooky and suspenseful, with appealing characters and great dialogue, and all shot through with Stroud's dry wit. * Guardian *
A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls * Kirkus *
Stroud (the
Bartimaeus series) shows his customary flair for blending deadpan humor with
thrilling action, and the fiery interplay among the three agents of Lockwood & Co. invigorates the story (along with no shortage of creepy moments). * Publishers Weekly *
In a world overrun by evil spooks, can Paranormal Detection Agency Lockwood & Co do anything about the ghostly problems besetting London?
Suspenseful, supernatural adventure. * Metro *
