I can't remember who first gave me a copy. ![]() The Sleator book I read over and over until the cover almost wore off was Interstellar Pig. He'd written more than 30 books - the best-known was probably House of Stairs, a terrifying vision of a dystopian future where five teenagers are thrown together in a strange house and slowly conditioned to turn on each other.īut House of Stairs was actually too upsetting for me as a kid - to this day I've never finished it.
