Overview

'A gorgeous, grisly modern fairy tale.' - THE GUARDIAN 'Dark and delicious. House of Hollow hums with malice and mystery. I devoured it whole.' - KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE ** SHORTLISTED FOR THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2022 ** The Hollow sisters - Vivi, Grey and Iris - are as seductively glamorous as they are mysterious. They have black eyes and hair as white as milk. The Hollow sisters don't have friends - they don't need them. They move through the corridors like sharks, the other little fish parting around them, whispering behind their backs. And everyone knows who the Hollow sisters are. Because one day the three Hollow sisters simply disappeared. And when they came back, one month later, with no memory of where they had been, it was as if nothing had changed. Almost nothing. Apart from, for example, the little scar that had appeared in the hollow of their throats ... and a whispering sense that something is not quite right about them, despite (or maybe because of) the terrible passion to be with them that they can exert on anybody at will... A thrilling, twisting, novel that is as seductive and glamorous as the Hollow sisters themselves....

It has proper Shirley Jackson vibes. Totally spellbinding. * Holly Bourne * I was so excited to recieved my copy of House of Hollow and delighted that it meet every one of my expectations! It is a dark twisted fairy tale with two mysteries. Where is the eldest sister, Grey? What happened to the three sisters when they went missing as children? Early on I had some theories and was delighted to find out that I was partially right, only it is much darker than I thought. Without giving any spoilers, I can say that this is the best representation of my favourite concept from local folklore (well I said no spoilers, so it has to be vague). I loved Grey's style but very quickly concluded that she is an awful person. It was a bit frustrating that Iris couldn't see it. I was on the fence about their Mother too but to be fair, she wasn't so bad that you couldn't understand how she acted, considering the sad history. I adore Iris and Vivi! They feel like sisters with an unhealthy but loving relationship and also complete characters with their own goals. I'd love to read more within this universe, but I feel like the main part of these character's stories are done. I hope that if there is a sequel, it's from a different character's perspective. -- Sally @bybookandbone * Instagram *
