The Treehouse

By: Gilwee, Russell

From the author of Here Lurk Monsters and The Night Sitter comes a chilling small-town horror tale about a lonely teenage girl drawn into a quiet, devastating Faustian bargain in the woods at the edge of her town.

I would ask of you a favor in return for a wish, the voice said. . .

In the cold autumn of her high school senior year, Mia and her mother, Christine, move into the house of Christine's new boyfriend at the edge of town. Feeling unwanted and alone, Mia wanders into a thick dark woods where she hears a ghostly voice whispering to her from a dark fairy tale-like treehouse hidden in a thicket of creature-like trees.

Within its dark wooden walls, hiding in its darkest corner, something stirs. . .

Something that promises to grant Mia any wish in return for a simple favor. Perhaps because her life feels in shambles - her parents' looming divorce, her ex-boyfriend now with her ex-best friend, the sudden tragic loss of a family pet - Mia finds herself making such a wish for such a favor. And then doing so again, and again, and again. . .

For her wishes have increasingly dreadful consequences, threatening everyone she loves. And just when Mia believes she has finally outsmarted this silver-tongued devil dwelling in the treehouse, it tempts her with a most terrible wish of its very own.

A terrifying parable for our times, The Treehouse crawls under your skin and takes twisted-root there. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Josh Malerman.
