House of Stairs by William Sleator

4.0

A totally bizarre little book that starts with five 16-year-old orphans being dropped off in a place that consists of nothing but stairs and landings. If James Dashner (author of The Maze Runner) wasn't influenced by this book, though he certainly took the concept in his own very original direction, I'll eat my hat. Anyway, this one is from the 70s, and anyone who has had a psychology class or two can see what's going on pretty quickly, though they may not be able to guess how it ends up. Interesting and creepy.
