Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Wild!
Some freaky cosmic horror!
I love the characters, the setting is a museum of junk with a portal to a strange realm. I felt echos of Annihilation and small town tail between your legs drama. Loved it!
Fun story
This was a bit slow to start, but honestly I’m so glad I stuck it out. I loved the second half of this book and truly love T. Kingfishers books. It’s beautifully written and quirky in the most amazing way!
Meh
This book wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great either. Like some other reviewers have said, there’s a lot of attempted humor in this book but it wasn’t funny. The characters were just so blasé about their situation. They just seemed bored. I felt no connection with them. This book had so much potential but it fell flat.
