Perils of New Town by Daniel Broman

The intelligent house named Wayne used to help out with everything in the family home until the owner, Steven Sutton, was locked inside and dressed against his will in a Halloween costume, resembling a Nazi uniform from the 1930's. He even had to march around the house, before he managed to escape it. Now, after surviving the hypnotic gaze of the house's eyes and vicious robotic arms, Steven is wandering around the neighbourhood to get hold of a phone, to call his wife, to tell her she was right: their house and friend is truly broken. But getting hold of a phone proves hard as not a single device seems to be working in the entire town; and when arriving at his friend's place, it is clear that Wayne isn't the only home in New Town gone mad.
