THE HOLLOWS by KM Barkley
Available on Amazon for Kindle: Published February 3rd 2017
“Before I tore both worlds apart, I was rarely afraid.”
Serenity, the lithium addicted teen runaway, couldn’t control the reality around her or the vile nature behind the eyes of ‘caring’ fosters, so she escaped. But for Serenity, escaping meant being wakened to another reality, one of forgotten beasts and discarded myths, living in another world beneath a blanket of perpetual nightfall. Serenity has no fear, no fight or flight; her past has instilled something stronger. But, there are things in The Hollows that feed upon the cruelty of their world, gorging themselves on the fear and hopelessness, and now they have trained their sights on Serenity.
As one girl wakes, so does another. One that shares Serenity’s face, but none of her apathy. She’s locked away in a labyrinth reserved for only the most wicked of creatures. Her escape and Serenity’s survival hinge on what sits in the center of a dying maze; a place no creature has found.
But, what lurks in the dark grows stronger. If the two girls are to find peace, they will need to traverse the landscape of their own living, parallel nightmares. One wrong turn can get them lost forever. One moment of hesitation could mean death.
Fans of Dark Fantasy’s Pans Labyrinth and Horror’s Stephen King alike will enjoy this fast paced, gut dropping, and introspective novel leaving them paranoid and shaken, but silently loving it. With a haunting conclusion that will have skin crawling, lights on at midnight, and readers wondering what the darkness might contain…
