You mustn't talk about the stairs.
There they stand, in the middle of the woods, pristine as the day they were built. Yet no sign remains of any other structure around them, no ruins of long forgotten buildings. They look... wrong. They feel wrong. Bad things happen if you get too close - horrible things.
And you must never, ever talk about them.
Thirty-four of today's best up and coming writers provide wonderfully unique interpretations inspired by the urban legends of the Internet age. Tales range from science fiction to fantasy, horror to mystery, and one writer even accepted the challenge of provided a romance!
But you must never tell anyone about the stairs!
