13 Doors Paperback – July 28, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Thirteen doors, thirteen hauntings. News reporter Joe Baxter has a plan.
His idea is simple – to use his newsroom contacts across England to find thirteen haunted places to stay, and then record his experiences in a book. From an abandoned cinema to a dank pub cellar, from a World War Two airfield to a lonely, landlocked cruise liner, Joe is prepared to spend long nights in the cold and dark, but has no idea what he is about to unleash.
For, as he endures increasingly dangerous vigils, meeting a succession of gruesome, tragic and terrifying spectres, a terrible truth begins to emerge.
Something – or someone – is reaching out to Joe, awakening long-buried memories of his father’s death, a dark family secret and his teenage brush with madness. And then there is Wilko, the imaginary friend who haunted his childhood. After decades of silence, Wilko has found his voice again…
A spine-tingling supernatural mystery entwined with chilling ghost stories, 13 Doors places the reader at the dark heart of the moment, from gut-wrenching action to eerie vigils.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023Haunted anything is my jam and this book gave me a fix for a while. I usually laugh at “scary” movies because, well, they’re not scary. The premise of the book is fantastic, you’ve got to love a guy willing to get right in there and do the research. I got goosebump vibes especially with Alfred, the drummer boy, and the caves. The format of the story was quite excellent, it reads like a novel, not… on this day, I went there, and saw this.
Overall, I can’t think of one way to improve the writing as the author has a true gift. With a peppering of spooky, a dash of dark, and an overwhelming sense of riveting creepy, I had trouble putting the book down. It’s rare that I read acknowledgements but even this part of the book was enlightening. Well done. Very well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars A haunting trip around Britain, the past, and the mind
Combining ghost stories and psychological terror, this horror from Birmingham author Phelps doesn't disappoint. I picked this up as part of a themed horror reading challenge after it was the first web result for local horror for me. It starts out a little slow, but as Joe's lonely vigils mount up and the spooks he's tracking become more malevolent, the story holds you by the neck and simply won't let go until it's done, much like Wilko, arguably the scariest of the lot, especially if you've had your own share of personal demons to fight. Don't miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars 13 Doors
I've been a reader of creepy tales for as long as I can remember but I can't recall the last time a book made me feel quite as unsettled as 13 Tales has (and, trust me, I'm not complaining).
Joe is a reporter who sets out with a plan to visit 13 haunted sights and spend a night at each then writing a book to record his experiences. The way the book is set out the 13 visits are interspersed with chapters that cover Joe's early life and it soon becomes apparent that the 2 timelines may be linked.
I think what has made this book feel creepier is that with each of the haunting sights visited you are never quite sure what is going to happen, when are the jump scares going to come, will it be subtle or ghastly. All through 13 Doors I felt I was looking over my shoulder. Yeah, this book creeped me out a bit . . . AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!
