But at what price?In a world where autistic characters rarely get to be the hero of their own stories, Cassie Davis's one-step-back, two-steps-forward journey to unmasking makes Hollow as much a love letter to neurodiversity as it is a haunting tale you'll want to read with the lights on.

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
