Horror fiction

The Night House is a 2023 Norwegian horror novel written by Jo Nesbø and originally published by Aschehoug in Norway. The story follows fourteen-year-old Richard, who recounts supernatural occurrences after his parents die in a fire, using first-person narration. The novel is divided into three distinct sections that gradually expose doubts about Richard's trustworthiness as a narrator. English translations were released in the United Kingdom and the United States later the same year, translated by Neil Smith. Critics responded favorably, praising its suspenseful plot and unexpected twists. An adaptation into a film is currently in development, with Nesbø attached as executive producer.
