Drawing on the creepiest elements of the very best survival and folk horror, this atmospheric queer YA cult thriller, full of mystery and secrets, is perfect for fans of Don't Let the Forest In, House of Hollow, Wilder Girls and Midsommar. When Cassie Davis returns to her hometown in upstate New York, she's eager to mask her new autism diagnosis from her old friends. The group take a backpacking trip together to Hollow Ridge to celebrate her homecoming, but after the first night, Cassie wakes to an abandoned campsite - her friends all gone. With severe weather approaching, and nearing sensory overload, Cassie meets a boy named Kaleb, who leads her to safety, to a place he calls The Roost - an off-the-grid compound lived in by a group of artists and outcasts. There, with Kaleb, Cassie begins to feel, for the first time in her life, that she can truly be herself. But as the days pass, strange things start happening. Crows surround them, there are odd noises... But are the dangers in the eerie forest that surrounds them, or inside the Roost itself? "One of the best horror novels of the year, full stop.

Rezensionen
One of the best horror novels of the year, full stop. Haunting, heartfelt, and downright creepy this book punched me in the face and stole my lunch money and all I could say was thank you.
Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of So Let Them Burn

An eerie and unsettlingly atmospheric debut, Taylor Grothe balances the tension of slow creeping horror with the distressing experience of unmasking, asking us to confront who we truly are when we strip away the weight of other s expectations no matter how painful.
K. M. Enright, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mistress of Lies

Both heartfelt and haunting, Taylor Grothe strikes the perfect balance between an immersive coming-of-age story and a chilling horror. Cassie is a heroine who you cannot help but love, protect, and root for and who I would definitely follow into the shadowy woods.
Lyndall Clipstone, author of Tenderly, I am Devoured

Bone-chilling, haunting, and hopeful, Hollow is the kind of book that will leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on while simultaneously holding your hand in the dark. Cassie Davis may not think she's a hero, but she will be one for teen readers for years to come.
De Elizabeth, author of This Raging Sea
