One common theme is the sense of the unknown. For example, in many stories, the neighbor might act very strangely at night, like making odd noises or having unexplained lights on in their house. Another theme could be invasion of privacy. There are stories where the neighbor seems to be watching or spying on the protagonist through their windows or in the yard. Also, some stories involve the neighbor having a dark secret, such as a hidden criminal past or being involved in some sort of cult - like activity.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with this particular 'the house next door horror novel' so I can't say who the author is. It could be an indie author or a relatively unknown writer. It might also be a new release that hasn't gained much popularity yet.
Well, it could be about a family who moves next to a house with a dark past. Maybe there were murders or some sort of supernatural events that took place there long ago. The story might unfold as the new neighbors start to experience unexplainable things that seem to be linked to that house next door. It could be full of suspense, with the characters gradually uncovering the secrets of the house, all while being in constant fear for their lives.
It could be both. It might be a story where the presence of a ghost next door initially seems spooky (horror element), but then a love story develops between the main character and the ghost, which is the romantic part.
Yes, it is often in the horror genre. Such movies based on true stories tend to add an extra layer of creepiness as they are inspired by real - life events.
In a real - life horror story of the girl next door, she was a loner. Nobody really knew her well. One night, there was a big fire in her house. When the firefighters arrived, they found some really disturbing things inside. There were pictures of her with dead animals all over the walls. It was later revealed that she had a fascination with death. She might have set the fire herself to try and cover up her strange and disturbing activities. This whole situation sent shivers down the spines of all the neighbors.
Once upon a time, there was a girl next door who always seemed a bit off. One night, I heard strange noises coming from her house. I peeked through the window and saw her standing in the dark, her eyes glowing red. She started to chant in a language I couldn't understand. Then, she suddenly turned towards my window and grinned, showing sharp teeth. I was so terrified that I ran to my room and hid under the covers all night.
A young girl lived next to an old, dilapidated house. The neighbor there was a reclusive woman. One night, the girl saw the woman standing in her yard, staring at her window.
