WHEN THE VOICES CALL, DON'T ANSWER...
In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote town of Ballantyne.
Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, no one believes him when he says the telephone booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like something out of a horror movie.
No one, that is, except the enigmatic Karen, who encourages Richard to pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number to an abandoned house in the woods. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window. And then the voices start.
When another classmate disappears, Richard grapples with the dark magic that's possessing Ballantyne to try and find them before it’s too late...
'Nesbø unfolds his tale of a troubled teen grappling with dark forces from three different perspectives, each more chilling than the last' DAILY MAIL
Perfect for fans of Stephen King and James Herbert

*JO NESBO HAS SOLD OVER 60 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE*
Nesbø doesn't spend any time fiddling about, building up, or misdirecting. In The Night House, the horror begins immediately. And it only keeps calling from there. There are lessons to be learned here: who to believe and what to believe in. And how a person can change, when the impossible turns possible and the unimaginable is laid bare. This horror fan loved it * Josh Malerman, best-selling author of Bird Box and Spin a Black Yarn *
A beguiling coming-of-age tale that becomes more terrifying as it builds, with plenty of tension and surprises packed into its pages * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
