Rezension von SabrinaDie Idee des Buchs hat mir sehr gefallen, die Umsetzung hingegen nicht wirklich. Es war oft langweilig und konnte mich leider nicht ganz überzeugen.
Rezension von Elias DolecekThe Hollow Places is a really good horror story, more creepy than scary but it left a pit in my chest anyway. Made me watch the edges of my vision extra close. I will say though that it has the same ‘backbone’ as The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher. A woman in her thirties moves into a strange house and then stuff goes down. But The Hollow Places does something for me that The Twisted Ones wasn’t able to. For me it’s the better version of a very similar story.
