The Haunting of Hell's Hollow
No one leaves the Hollow-Not even in death.
Everyone's heard of Hell's Hollow. It's a place with a haunted history, that stalks the minds of a small midwestern town's residents. Stories of murder, devil worship, cannibalism, torture, curses, and an ancient Indian burial ground are whispered. Everyone's heard them but Lisa. Desperate for a fresh start after an extended period of mourning and ready to begin a new life on her own, Lisa buys a house in the Hollow. It's the perfect place to start over after starting a new job at the local hospital, that is until darkness falls.
Nurses that Lisa works with on the midnight shift, share details about the history of Hell's Hollow in their down time, but she isn't one to believe everything she hears. That is until a putrid smell drift through the house and lingers with unknown origins, shadows can be seen moving through the darkness and night terrors torment her sleep. But a familiar face from her past arrives to help her sort through it all and wash away the bad dreams, testing her will to remain independent.
The ground is stained with blood. The air is haunted by residual emotion that intensifies every experienced feeling and thought. Fantasies become reality as Halloween approaches and Lisa is joined by her friends from college to join in the festivities. But when a mysterious disappearance disrupts the party and the missing person's truck is found in the woods, Lisa and her friends search the Hollow and find more than what they expected.
The Hounds thirst for blood. The Hollow hungers. The damned watch and wait. -Inspired by the haunting legends of Hell's Hollow in Decatur, IL. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT, READER DISCRETION ADVISED!
