From the author of Here Lurk Monsters and Sorcerie, a small town horror gem in the be careful what you wish for milieu about a despondent teenage girl who stumbles upon a bewitched treehouse deep in the woods at the edge of her town.

I would ask of you a favor, the voice said to her. . .
I would ask of you a favor in return for a wish, it 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 adrift, unwanted, and lonely, Mia takes a long dreary walk in the cold only to hear a ghostly voice on the wind whispering softly to her from a thick dark woods beyond a dead end street.

Heeding the voice, Mia discovers a treehouse at the heart of the woods. A dark fairy tale-like treehouse that blends so seamlessly into the creature-like trees it's almost as if the treehouse can appear and disappear from existence at its own whim.

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 is in shambles, her parents separated and heading for divorce, her ex-boyfriend sleeping with her ex-best friend, her failing grades threatening her graduation, Mia finds herself making such a wish for such a favor.

And then doing so again, and again, and again. . .

A terrifying parable for our times, The Treehouse crawls under your skin and takes twisted-root there. A sublimely clever, stylish, and chilling horror tale that is really, really scary. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Josh Malerman.
