Do You Wish to Climb? · expected 2027
Noah Michael
Horror and suspense. Do You Wish to Climb? is being written now, and I am aiming for 2027.
About
Noah Michael is a writer and an actor. He likes stories in whatever form they come. Film, television, books, comics, music. What he wants from them is the same every time. A while inside somebody else’s life, seeing out through their eyes.
That is what the writing is for. No theory behind it. He loves stories and likes making them, and wants to give a reader characters and a world that stay after the last page.
Acting is the other half, and it is early. Classes now. The goal is film, and theater comes first, because theater is where you actually learn it. An audience in the room and no second take. There is nowhere to hide.
Screenwriting sits between the two. Two screenplays are started and on the back burner, and that is where they stay until the novel is done. The interest is there. It is not going away.
Do You Wish to Climb? is the first novel, a horror thriller, and it is being written now. Two more novels are started behind it, and they stay there until this one is finished.
The book
The following is an account taken from the personal journals of Silas Georgiou, nineteen years old, living in New York in 2003, documenting his experiences within a place known only as the Tower.
Cynical, stubborn, and carrying more than his fair share of resentment toward his late mother, Silas has little ambition beyond keeping his head down, working at a struggling mechanic shop, and getting through each day without trouble. Then an unexpected opportunity presents itself, a chance to get back something he cannot afford to lose, and everything begins to change. Along the way he is reunited with an old friend and drawn into the Tower, where the promise is simple: climb it, face the game waiting on each floor, and win your way to the top, where anything you desire can be yours.
But as the climb begins, are these people really who they claim to be? Can he trust the other players, when not everyone who enters the Tower is guaranteed to leave it alive?
