The Night House Files Series

by Dan Smith

(13 reviews)

Horror is back on the rise amongst middle-grade readers, and The Night House Files is the perfect series to tuck into all things thriller, scary and spine-tingling! These books are also great if you're after a short read or if you would like to recommend a great series to a reluctant reader you know. It has illustrations throughout by Luke Brookes.

The series follows a secret organisation called The Night House, whose members expose terrifying and bone-chilling truths behind disasters and all sorts of mysterious phenomenons, with interviews with smaller-part characters interspersed throughout the stories. Each title blends mystery and suspense with engaging writing that will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the page, with so many readers claiming to get through a book in just one sitting.

Master of sci-fi horror Dan Smith is also the author behind the The Crooked Oak Mysteries books.
