Sinopse

A teenager must investigate unspeakable horrors to solve a series of sinister events in a small town before another victim is claimed. House of Night is Jo Nesbø's triumphant horror debut, a story of courage and destruction, with a healthy dose of twists and turns.

After the tragic death of his parents, 14-year-old Richard Elauved is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the isolated town of Ballantyne.

It doesn't take long for him to be treated like an outcast at school. Things get worse when a classmate, Tom, disappears, and Richard becomes the prime suspect in the alleged crime; after all, it's easy to pin the blame on the hot-headed kid, newly arrived from the big city. Especially since he was the last person to see Tom, and no one believes his story: according to Richard, Tom was making a prank call to a random number on the list when he was sucked into the phone booth receiver—something straight out of a horror movie.

No one believes him, except Karen, his only friend and the person he secretly harbors a crush on. She encourages him to follow the clues the police refuse to investigate. Thus, Richard finds the address of the phone: an abandoned house in the middle of the Looking Glass Forest. He goes there, but the house is eerie, with roofs resembling devil's horns, an oak tree so large it has broken through the roof, and a sinister, pale face staring at him from an upstairs window. What he feels there is strange, as if he's looking at himself in a mirror...

When another schoolmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence—and preserve his sanity—while dealing with a terrible magic that, besides trying to take over the town, seems to want to destroy him.

But there's a catch: Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story...

The House of Night is a sinister tale of loneliness, courage, friendship, destruction, and madness. About what we can and cannot see. It's a story about a dark house in an even darker forest.

“A coming-of-age story that grows increasingly terrifying, packed with tension and revelations.” – Sunday Express
