About this ebook

**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.

Daniel Church's "The Hollows" is fantastic, creepy and harrowing. The author combines the darkness of the human psyche, folk horror, and survival with unforgiving conditions, making this read not only scary but thrilling. The historic background added such a refreshing take on the narrative, and I loved it. I could never predict the haunting yet lingering ending—a 5-star read. Thank you, NetGalley and Angry Robot, for giving me this ARC.
