**FINALIST for BFS Award for Best Horror Novel, 2023**
Folk horror meets ancient gods in a remote snowbound Peak District town where several murders take place…
---
In a lonely village in the Peak District, during the onset of a once-in-a-lifetime snow storm, Constable Ellie Cheetham finds a body. The man, a local ne'er-do-well, appears to have died in a tragic accident: he drank too much and froze to death.
But the facts don't add up: the dead man is clutching a knife in one hand, and there's evidence he was hiding from someone. Someone who watched him die. Stranger still, an odd mark has been drawn onto a stone beside his body.
The next victims are two families on the outskirts of town. As the storm rises and the body count grows, Ellie realises she has a terrifying problem on her hands: someone – or some thing – is killing indiscriminately, attacking in the darkness and using the storm for cover.
The killer is circling ever closer to the village. The storm's getting worse... and the power's just gone out.

The Hollows is a chilling…
misspider am 31.10.2023
Bewertungsnummer: 3006712
Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
The Hollows is a chilling (not just due to the blazing snow storm in the book) - horror thriller that reveals not only a deadly kind of monster creature, but all kinds of human monsters as well. The story behind the story - the origin of the threat that finds and overruns the little town - was original and fascinating. Equally compelling was the cast of characters the author created - from Ellie Cheetham, the officer who investigates the mysterious cause for the appearing dead bodies, her friends and fellow citizens to the criminal family that lives outside of town and has an agenda of its own. Though I found the plot a bit dragging at times (though there had to be those three encounters, the fighting scenes seemed too repetitive), I was glued to the pages when it came time to face the monstrosities in a final deadly showdown.
