The People Under the Stairs
“In every neighborhood, there is one house that adults whisper about and children cross the street to avoid.”
Trapped inside a fortified home owned by a mysterious couple, a young boy quickly learns the true nature of the homicidal inhabitants, and secret creatures hidden deep within the walls.
