About this product

Product Information

This chilling, suspenseful indictment of mind control is a classic of science fiction and will haunt readers long after the last page is turned. One by one, five sixteen-year-old orphans are brought to a strange building. It is not a prison, not a hospital; it has no walls, no ceiling, no floor. Nothing but endless flights of stairs leading nowhere--except back to a strange red machine. The five must learn to love the machine and let it rule their lives. But will they let it kill their souls? "An intensely suspenseful page-turner." --School Library Journal "A riveting suspense novel with an anti-behaviorist message that works . . . because it emerges only slowly from the chilling events." --Kirkus Reviews

"When people talk about classic dystopian novels for young readers, the same titles come up again and again:  The Giver .  City of Ember . A few others. But one classic book in that subgenre deserves a lot more love:  House of Stairs  by William Sleator." --io9.com

    This book is timeless!

    I loved this book as a teenager 35 years ago, and bought it for my nephews who are now in their teens. I hope the Author makes it available as an e-book to be downloaded and enjoyed by Teens and Adults in this digital age.

    Awesome book and worth how much it was!

    I wanted to get another horror book from William Sleator and found this item. This book seems like it's going to be great and I can't wait until I start.
