Staircase Is Now A USA Today Bestseller, Holy Crap

So, I’ll do a proper tour wrap-up next week but — hey, whoa, what, The Staircase in the Woods is now a USA Today bestseller:

So that is very, very exciting. In addition, it’s also the top horror bestseller in audio at Libro.fm, which is surely in part due to the excellent narrators — Amber Benson, Jay Myers, and Xe Sands. Libro.fm is a great place to buy audio, as they are independent and give back to independent bookstores.

I also don’t have final sales numbers for the book, but it does look like it will have in its first week surpassed the first week numbers of my last two adult books, so that’s also a good sign. I’m hoping people keep finding this book or it keeps finding them by stalking them in the woods, where every time you turn around on the trail, you see the book just barely peeking out of a rotten stump, or up in a tree, or behind a pileated woodpecker.

Also, if you’ve checked out the book and enjoyed it, the greatest thing you can do is tell everyone! Leave reviews, tell your friends and family and even a few frenemies, carry the book with you everywhere and gently tap people with it and say “you just got STAIRCASED, now you have to go buy the book and if you don’t, bad luck will plague you eternally.” This cannot fail. These are good marketing strategies.

The book gets to live and exist thanks to readers reading it and caring about it and carrying on about it, so thank you in advance for doing that.

Beyond that — bookstores and libraries are where the book lives, if you care to seek its dark embrace.

And you can always get any of my books signed and personalized from Doylestown Bookshop.

Plus, tonight — last stop of the tour! Me and Nat Cassidy sitting in a tree, b-o-o-k-t-o-u-r-i-n-g, at Midtown Scholar, in Harrisburg. Come see us! Or be drenched in shamesweat! Sour, pickly shamesweat!

Okay! More later! Bye!
