Books like Floating staircase by Ronald Damien Malfi
When Travis and Jodie Glasgow settle into their new farmhouse, the idyllic surroundings of woods and lake initially promise peace. Yet night after night, unsettling noises, fleeting shapes resembling a young boy, and ghostly dreams disturb Travis, hinting at a darker reality beneath the surface. The most unnerving discovery is a wooden staircase that abruptly rises from the lake itself, suggesting the house is more than a shelter—it is a doorway to its violent and tragic history. As Travis investigates, the layers of the house’s past unfold, revealing secrets that resist being forgotten and challenging the couple to confront the possession of both place and memory.
