T. Kingfisher
A young woman discovers a strange portal in her uncle’s house, leading to madness and terror in this gripping new novel from the author of the “innovative, unexpected, and absolutely chilling” (Mira Grant, Nebula Award–winning author) The Twisted Ones.Pray they are hungry. Kara finds the words in the mysterious bunker that she’s discovered behind a hole in the wall of her uncle’s house. Freshly divorced and living back at home, Kara now becomes obsessed with these cryptic words and starts exploring this peculiar area—only to discover that it holds portals to countless alternate realities. But these places are haunted by creatures that seem to hear thoughts…and the more one fears them, the stronger they become. With her distinctive “delightfully fresh and subversive” (SF Bluestocking) prose and the strange, sinister wonder found in Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, The Hollow Places is another compelling and white-knuckled horror novel that you won’t be able to put down.

"This was my first read by this author. Certainly not something I commonly reach for. I enjoyed how imaginative this horror was. The world of the Willows is a truly haunting concept. I think my brain wanted to know more about the lore about how the Willow world came to exist and less about the characters in this book. I also didn't really like or identify with the main character, so overall, it was just okay for me. I think the concept was better than the story. "

"I’m not a really big horror fan, but I am a big T. Kingfisher fan. I decided to try one of her horrors and found it to be a very good horror for me. I like periods were there is calm in the middle when the characters get to recover but also leaves you wondering when the scary parts will start again. This has a lot of good suspense as you wait for the next scare. The ending provides a lot of closure on the events in the story."

"This was such a great read! If I didn’t need sleep, I definitely could have read this in a day. I figured out what was causing the tear before Kara and Simon did, and I may or may not have screamed it at them a couple times. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author! "

"Excellent read!! I love books, movies, and shows involving parallel universes and the like, and this one did not disappoint! It also had enough weirdness to satisfy my taste."

"The narrator is semi-sarcastic/funny but it's scary too 😊"

"This was a five star read for me. T Kingfisher's world was endlessly fascinating and interesting. Even while the characters are experiencing terrifying things, the author finds a way to keep the levity. This book was scary, but the characters made me laugh out loud more than once. Highly recommend!"
