Vintage Publishing, 2023

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, where all is not as it seems. 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. A twisted spin on a classic coming-of-age horror story from the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Jo Nesbo, author of the Detective Harry Hole series. 'This horror fan loved it' Josh Malerman, bestselling author of Bird Box *** READERS LOVE THE NIGHT HOUSE: ‘Will highly recommend to fans of horror and paranormal who like to have thrilling and spine shivering reads! A great book to be read for Halloween too!’ ‘This novel has everything you would want from a horror story, from dark forests to local legends to creepy haunted houses . . . a moody, spooky, eerie, secretive, sinister and evil tone which induces fear. To say there is atmosphere in abundance is an understatement. It’s chock full of tension and suspenseful moments with those horror Stephen King like vibes centre stage’ ‘As a Jo Nesbo fan of Harry Hole I know that he is a fabulous writer. This, however, is another level . . . just incredible, absolutely, mind-blowingly brilliant. It honestly shows what a talented writer he is’ ‘A book the stuff of nightmares. A storyline that would cause Stephen King to tremble. The reader, compelled to turn each page – not quite realising that each page turned draws them more deeply into a terrifying scenario of which there is no escaping . . .’
