A Darkness Behind Academic Walls
In the quiet college town of Crandall, Ohio, evil wears tweed and grades papers. Stephen King's "Holly" introduces us to a horror far more disturbing than supernatural monsters-the kind that might invite you in for tea. The year is 2020, and COVID-19 has emptied streets and isolated communities. Against this backdrop of collective fear, people are disappearing around Deerfield Park. A jogger vanishes during his morning run. A young woman named Bonnie Dahl never returns from a job interview. A Black janitor stops showing up for work. Enter Holly Gibney-detective, anxiety sufferer, and reluctant hero. Recently bereaved by her manipulative mother's death, Holly takes on Bonnie's case when the desperate mother Penny Dahl appears at her agency's door. What begins as a missing persons investigation soon reveals a pattern of disappearances spanning decades, all connected to a stately Victorian home on Ridge Road where retired professors Rodney and Emily Harris maintain their respectable facade. What makes this story so chilling isn't just what the Harrises do in their basement-it's the mundane normality they maintain upstairs. They host Christmas parties. They mentor students. They discuss literature over dinner. And they believe, with absolute conviction, that consuming human flesh reverses aging and cures ailments. The most terrifying monster, King reminds us, isn't the one hiding under your bed-it's the one hiding in plain sight.
