The Stairway to Never
By
A. E. Lawrence
Josef Barrington becomes a wealthy man because he takes heed of the
voice in the night. When he obeys the
command to build a special stairway in his mansion, he thinks the stairway is
another step toward his destiny.
However, it soon becomes apparent that the stairs have become the device
of his destruction.
On a trip to Cleveland, Ohio, Peter White is
flying his airplane over East Ridgeville when he spots an old, ill-kept
mansion. When he makes inquiries about
the property, he learns that it’s known as the Barrington Haunted Castle. Thinking he might purchase the property, he
takes his girlfriend, Claire Whitley, to East Ridgeville to see the
realtor. There, they hear that Josef
Barrington had killed his wife and three children almost a hundred years ago
and was duly hanged.
Peter and Claire go out to inspect the mansion
and discover a strange stairway in the living room. Although they think of the stairs as just a
whim of a crazy old man, they are forced to change their minds one stormy night
when the stairway becomes a gateway to the bizarre.
They soon realize that Josef Barrington did not
kill his family. The stairway and what
lay beyond were instrumental in their disappearance. And Peter and Claire are about to meet the
same fate.
