All se convierte en seguida en uno de los marginados oficiales del instituto, algo que se acenta cuando un compaero de clase llamado Tom desaparece en extraas circunstancias: todos culparn al nuevo alumno, tan raro, retrado, irritable y taciturno. Sin embargo, Richard vio con sus propios ojos lo que le pas realmente a Tom, una escena verdaderamente espeluznante ocurrida en una cabina de telfono cercana al bosque. Pero ni la polica ni nadie creen su versin... salvo Karen, otra estudiante arrinconada que lo empuja a llegar hasta el fondo de la cuestin. Las pistas lo conducirn hasta una antigua casa seorial, ahora abandonada. Ante ella, muerto de miedo, rodeado de insectos, Richard descubrir que lo observa, desde una ventana del cuarto piso, un hombre de rostro inexpresivo. Despus, empezar a or voces. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the internationally best-selling author, a chilling fresh spin on the classic horror novel - When the voices call, don't answer.
"In The Night House, the horror begins immediately. And it only keeps calling from there."--Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Spin a Black Yarn In the wake of his parents' 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 . . . She's going to burn. The girl you love is going to burn. There's nothing you can do about it. When another classmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence--and preserve his sanity--as he grapples with the dark magic that is possessing Ballantyne and pursuing his destruction. Then again, Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story . . .
