About the book: 

From the internationally best-selling author comes a twisted, multi-layered spin on the classic horror novel for fans of  Stranger Things  and  IT

A twisted spin on the classic coming-of-age horror story from the  Sunday Times  No.1 bestselling author Jo Nesbo

 
WHEN THE VOICES CALL, DON'T ANSWER...
 
In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote 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. 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 woods. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window. And then the voices start . . .
 
When another classmate disappears, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence as he grapples with the dark magic that is possessing Ballantyne.
 
Then again, Richard may not be the most reliable narrator of his own story.
