The House Of Stairs

---

The House of Stairs is a chilling psychological thriller told in flashback by Elizabeth, a woman obsessed with the toxic relationship she shared with her beautiful, wealthy, and manipulative cousin, Bell, twenty years earlier. Bell suffers from amnesia after a mysterious and violent event occurred at the large, isolated London house they shared, which featured a terrifying, prominent spiral staircase. The novel is a deep dive into the co-dependent, passionate, and ultimately destructive nature of their relationship. Elizabeth compulsively revisits every detail of their past, trying to solve the central mystery: was Bell the victim of a crime, or was she the perpetrator? The plot slowly unspools the secrets surrounding Bell’s identity, the ambiguous nature of memory, and the intense psychological grip they held over each other, leading to a shocking revelation about the true crime that transpired in the house.
