À propos de cet audio

 From the internationally best-selling author, a twisted, multi-layered, mind-bending spin on the classic horror novel

In the wake of his parents’ tragic deaths in a house fire, fourteen-year-old Richard has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote, insular town of Ballantyne, where he quickly earns a reputation as an outcast. When a classmate named Tom goes missing, everyone suspects that the angry new boy is responsible for his disappearance. And no one believes Richard 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 eventually traces the number that Tom prank-called from the phone booth to an abandoned house in the Black Mirror Wood. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window. And then the voices begin to whisper in his ear: You know who I am. She’s going to burn. The one you love is going to burn. There’s not a thing 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 threatening to destroy him.
Then again, Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story . . . Fiction de genre Horreur Psychologique Surnaturels Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense Effrayant Paranormal Intéressant

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[The Night House] is a delightful contrast with the author’s usual work . . . classic horror tropes are reinvented. . . . There are some wickedly clever reveals . . . you must read this book." —Crime Reads

"Nesbø doesn’t spend any time fiddling about, building up, or misdirecting. In The Night House, the horror begins immediately. And it only keeps calling from there. There are lessons to be learned here: who to believe and what to believe in. And how a person can change, when the impossible turns possible and the unimaginable is laid bare. This horror fan loved it." —Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Spin a Black Yarn

"The Night House proves that Jo Nesbø is in full control over all keys on his literary keyboard. Just let yourself be entertained! Gruesomely enjoyable from Jo Nesbø! An elegant take on the genre from an author who entertains both himself and the reader." —Verdens Gang (Norway)

"A seductive nightmare from Nesbø. . . . The Night House is a particularly well-composed and intricate story with surprising turns and transitions. And let it be said: The author does not let his readers down, here there are rounds of answers, red herrings, and astonishing revelations until the very last letter." —Dagsavisen (Norway)

"Nesbø does what he does best. . . . As part of Jo Nesbø’s authorship, The Night House is both exceptional and original. He also deserves praise for incorporating remarkable facts into such a novel." —NRK (Norway)

This story started out strong, had a really interesting premise and while it meandered away into a subplot for a while, was building a world where magic and curses were real, and seemed to position the main character to fight the central villain.

Then the story abruptly shifted. It was just a story the main character (now an author) wrote in one of his books! Or was it? Not the direction you think it's going in but you're still along for the ride.

BUT THEN! Part three. Part three wraps things up in the least satisfying way possible. I won't spoil the ending, maybe you'll enjoy it. I hated it.

The performance was fine, he isn't my favorite reader but serviceable. The translation is alright although I did sometimes forget the novel was set in Norway as they changed some references to be more "American".

If the rest of his books are like this I think I will skip anything else by Mr. Nesbo.

The ending feels like a total cop out
