The Night House: A SPINE-CHILLING TALE FOR FANS OF STEPHEN KING FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

A reimagined take on the quintessential coming-of-age horror tale crafted by the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author, Jo Nesbo, presents a chilling narrative. The story begins after the tragic demise of his parents, when fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved is compelled to move in with his aunt and uncle in the secluded town of Ballantyne. Almost immediately, Richard is labeled an outsider, and suspicion falls on him when his classmate Tom vanishes. The town is quick to blame the new boy, dismissing Richard's claim that a telephone booth at the forest's edge has enveloped Tom, much like a scene from a horror film. In this isolated environment, Karen, another enigmatic outcast, appears as his only ally, urging him to chase leads that the police ignore. Richard's investigation of the phone booth leads him to an old house deep in the woods where he encounters a frightening face at the window, followed by mysterious voices. As yet another peer disappears, Richard is caught in a struggle to clear his name while confronting the dark forces haunting Ballantyne. However, there's an underlying question of whether Richard is a reliable narrator in the sinister unfolding of his own story.
