When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in…For more than fifty years, the country has been affected by a horrifying epidemic of ghosts. A number of Psychic Investigations Agencies have sprung up to destroy the dangerous apparitions. Lucy Carlyle, a talented young agent, arrives in London hoping for a notable career. Instead she finds herself joining the smallest most ramshackle agency in the city, run by the charismatic Anthony Lockwood. When one of their cases goes horribly wrong, Lockwood & Co. have one last chance of redemption. Unfortunately this involves spending the night in one of the most haunted houses in England, and trying to escape alive. Set in a city stalked by spectres, The Screaming Staircase is the first in a chilling new series full of suspense, humour and truly terrifying ghosts. Your nights will never be the same again…

The Screaming Staircase
by Jonathan Stroud
Review by Renata
The London of the Lockwood & Co series has been hit by a plague of ghosts. Only special children can see them, those destined to become ghost-hunters. Stroud perfectly balances creepy action, adventure, and humour in these rollicking reads.
