The night house

When voices call you, don't answer...
After his parents die in a house fire, fourteen-year-old Richard Eloved goes to stay with his uncles in the remote town of Balladyne. Richard quickly gains a reputation as an outcast and when a classmate, Tom, disappears, everyone suspects the new angry boy. No one believes him when he tells them that the phone booth at the edge of the woods sucked him in like he was in a horror movie. No one, except Karen, an equally lonely classmate who encourages Richard to follow the evidence that the police refuse to investigate. He tracks down the number Tom called to prank an abandoned house in the Forest of Mirrors. There he glimpses a terrifying face in the window. And then voices begin to whisper in his ear... When yet another classmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence—and save his mind from madness—as he battles the dark magic that chokes the Balladine and he plans his destruction. But in the end, maybe Richard isn't the most reliable narrator of his own story...

WRITE THE GUY
Frighteningly enjoyable without giving you nightmares. Or not?
Kirkus Reviews

The Norwegian meter seems to be paying homage to Stephen King.
Sunday Express

Nesbo wastes no time. In The Nightingale, the horror starts at the beginning and page by page it takes off. Horror fans will love it.
Josh Malerman

Nighthouse begins like something HP Lovecraft would write. By the middle of the book, readers will need to review everything they have read. It is not an ordinary horror novel, but a story about a tormented young man searching for meaning after a personal tragedy.
Associated Press

Wild and ambitious.
Publishers Weekly

Nesbo, with terrific skill, keeps the reader on his toes and leaves him wondering if he will finally find redemption… even if he deserves it.
Booklist

Nesbo does what it does best, staying original.
