ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the internationally best-selling author, a chilling fresh spin on the classic horror novel ā¢ When the voices call, don't answer.
āIn The Night House, the horror begins immediately. And it only keeps calling from there.āāJosh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Spin a Black Yarn
Ā
In the wake of his parentsā tragic deaths in a house fire, fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote, insular town of Ballantyne. Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, everyone suspects the new, angry boy is responsible for his disappearance. 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 Karen, a beguiling fellow outsider who encourages Richard to pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number that Tom prank-called from the phone booth to an abandoned house in the Mirror Forest. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window. And then the voices begin to whisper in his ear . . .
Ā
Sheās going to burn. The girl you love is going to burn. Thereās nothing you can do about it.
Ā
When another classmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocenceāand preserve his sanityāas he grapples with the dark magic that is possessing Ballantyne and pursuing his destruction.
Ā
Then again, Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story . . .
