4.5 Stars from me
I love this book – from the kookie old style horror cover to the absolute nonsense of the story!
It was super easy to get into and I was quickly invested in this odd tale. It is the perfect winter read and if you can give yourself over to the story and not worry ever so much about what is physically possible – then you will love it too!
Proper gory old style horror and I loved it.
Hats off to the author for diversity too – I can’t quite believe this is the same person who wrote the Detective Harry Hole books!
Blurb: 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, where all is not as it seems.
Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, 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 the enigmatic Karen, who encourages Richard to pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number to an abandoned house in the woods. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window. And then the voices start.
