Critics Review
“The Hollows grabs you by the throat from the first page and doesn’t let up. Church has crafted a masterful action-horror in which small town evil meets aeons-buried horror and the personal stakes are just as powerfully rendered as the cosmic ones.”
– James Brogden, author of Hekla’s Children
“Ellie proves a heroine worth rooting for and the Harper clan make for ruthless and formidable antagonists. This claustrophobic outing is sure to resonate with horror readers.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Daniel Church’s tale of a small community ravaged by unnatural forces – and the way its inhabitants fight back – is beautifully told, right from the first finely honed paragraph. It has a wonderfully atmospheric setting, fizzing dialogue and sharply drawn characters you won’t forget in a hurry.”
– A.J. Elwood, author of The Cottingley Cuckoo
“The Hollows combines human monstrousness and uncanny dread in a breathlessly suspenseful narrative. Startlingly violent, compellingly weird, it carries us through levels of fear to a climax of cosmic terror worthy of the classics.”
– Ramsey Campbell, multiple World Fantasy Award-winner
“The Hollows is an epically ambitious novel given a quality of intimacy by its depth of characterisation and secure rooting in location and season. Proof that folk horror can be not just sinister, but a white-knuckle ride of thrills.”
– F.G. Cottam, author of The House of Lost Souls
“It should please fans of folk horror such as The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy or the folklore-inspired crime fiction of Sharon Bolton’s stand-alone novels.”
– Booklist
“Folk horror meets small-town police procedural with a side of revenge and redemption as police constable Ellie and a likable group of ragtag helpers work together to stop the end of the world.”
– Library Journal
“Stormbound and suspenseful, The Hollows is a barnstorming rollercoaster of action and tension, set on home turf as if John Carpenter directed an episode of Happy Valley.”
– Stephen Volk, author of The Awakening
