"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 begins like something from the mind of H.P.

Lovecraft. And then at a little over the halfway mark of this slim horror novel, Nesbø begins 'Part Two' and readers are forced to rethink everything they just read. It's a remarkable about-face. After readers turn the final page of the book, it's fun going back and picking up all the foreshadowing." -- Associated Press "Nesbø deftly guides readers on a journey much larger than many will expect from the slim volume . Expectations of genre, setting, and mood are subverted as a simple horror novel unfolds into a story that encompasses grief, mid-life crises, and more." -- Library Journal "Scary fun that won't cause nightmares--or will it?" --Kirkus Reviews "Wild and ambitious . Nesbø shows a sure hand at crafting moments of terror.

" -- Publishers Weekly "A fast-paced escape of a book . Nesbø skillfully keeps the reader wondering where the story is going to go next and when, if ever, the main character will reach his happy ending--or if, in fact, he deserves to reach one at all." -- Booklist.
