The night bus is written by Antony horowitz and its gennre is Horror.
It really fits in to the horror genre as it has elements of suspense where you the reader are scared and think what has happened and try to work it out whilst your imagination runs wild. You can very often in the book feel what it would be like to be in the characters shoes. ‘The night bus’ and many more horror books by Horowitz are not any usual horror story because it does not lead on to the next book but still finishes without having completed the story. Which makes you remember it thinking all time, I wonder what happened to the characters?.
Antony Horowitz is one of my childhood favourite authors as they may not be complecated but they are written in a way that makes you have a need to want to read on. Even though each book is different they make you want to read more of his books.
I would rate this book

About Antony Horowitz:
As an artist: Anthony’s first novel was Enter Frederick K. Bower, published in 1979 when Anthony was just 23. He has since written many more and is also a prolific writer for television, film and theatre. He created Foyle’s War and the popular series Midsomer Murders and has also worked on Agatha Christie’s Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. Anthony’s phenomenally successful series of books about teen superspy Alex Rider has delighted children all over the world, and in 2003, Anthony was delighted to win the Red House Children’s Book Award for Skeleton Key as it was voted for entirely by children. He has since received numerous awards for the Alex Rider series. Stormbreaker, the first Alex Rider mission, was made into a blockbuster movie.
Things you didn’t know about Anthony Horowitz:
1. Anthony began writing because he wanted to be like Tintin.
2. He has travelled to all the places in the Tintin books (except the moon).
3. Snatchmore Hall (in The Switch) is based on the house where Anthony lived as a child. He had a nanny, two cooks, two gardens, a chauffeur … and he hated it.
4. He was sent to a revolting boarding school, Orley Farm, in north London. The headmaster and his wife featured by name in one of his TV episodes. He depicted them as mad Nazis!
5. He takes research for his books very seriously. He has walked across the Andes and visited forbidden criminal enclaves in Hong Kong. For Point Blanc, he climbed – and operated – a 150m crane opposite the Houses of Parliament.
6. He got married in Hong Kong. He didn’t understand the ceremony because it was in Chinese.
7. He spent a year working as a cowboy in Australia. This was for fun – not for a book.
8. His passion is scuba-diving. He has dived all over the world, including Sipadan in the South China Sea, where he saw hammerhead sharks.
9. He has a chocolate-coloured Labrador called Lucky. Lucky by name, but not by nature – the dog has been run over three times!
10. He is a major film fan and goes to the cinema three or four times a week. His favourite film is The Third Man. He is also a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s mysteries.
