The book sensation of the year from global bestselling author, Jonathan Stroud.
Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford in 1970. After studying English Literature at York University, he moved to London, where he worked as an editor at a publishing firm. He is the author of the best-selling Bartimaeus sequence, which is published in 35 languages and has sold 6 million copies worldwide; the much-beloved Lockwood & Co. series (soon to be a major Netflix series) as well as The Notorious Scarlett & Browne; Heroes of the Valley; The Last Seige; The Leap and Buried Fire. He lives in Hertfordshire with his family. He has yet to see a ghost, but is keeping his eyes open.
This 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*
