About this ebook

Lock your doors! From the creators of the blockbuster horror video game Hello Neighbor comes the story that started it all. Unravel the mystery in this gripping prequel novel!

Nicky Roth has always been a lonely kid. But that all changes when he and his family move to Raven Brooks and meet their eccentric neighbors, the Petersons. Nicky befriends the Petersons' son, Aaron, bonding over their talents for tinkering. Soon the boys are inseparable and using their skills to pull pranks on the townspeople. But something about Aaron bothers Nicky--people seem almost afraid of him and his family. Through snippets from Aaron and a lot of sleuthing in the town's archives, Nicky discovers a dark past haunting his neighbors, a streak of bad luck they can't seem to shake. Aaron thinks that's all behind them now, but Nicky has a feeling the Petersons are fated for another tragedy. . . . This pulse-pounding prequel novel to the hit video game Hello Neighbor includes two-color illustrations throughout, to help readers unwind the mystery at the heart of the game.

Ratings and reviews

l read it and it was weird at the start and better at the end still l like the book l also played hello neighbor full game and it was so fun lam on act 3 when the boys screams Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! but it was good the book 4 stars awsome l read it in person with the book at home havent read it on phone my favirote part wasnt the book it was about the athour

I haven't read the book yet, however I already noticed a continuity error. The video game takes place in Russia. So I think it's safe to assume this isn't cannon.

From a preview I read of the book it actually seemed very interesting and well written. (From someone who normally gets impatient with reading lol) Definately considering a buy, the price is reasonable and the content I read was good. 👍👍
