When reality tears open, nightmares pour through. T. Kingfisher's "The Hollow Places" - hailed as 2020's most intense horror novel - reimagines Blackwood's "The Willows" for our time. What lurks between dimensions when the walls between worlds grow thin? Deliciously bizarre and absolutely chilling.

Imagine discovering a hole in your wall that leads not to pipes or wiring, but to another reality entirely. This is the premise that transforms Kara's post-divorce refuge at her uncle's quirky taxidermy museum into a nightmare. After her marriage to Mark dissolves, Kara gratefully accepts Uncle Earl's offer to live above his Glory to God Museum of Natural Wonders, Curiosities, and Taxidermy in small-town North Carolina. The museum itself is a marvel of eccentricity - stuffed animals with glass eyes, dubious artifacts, and Earl himself, a man who simultaneously believes in Jesus, aliens, and cryptids with equal conviction. For Kara, this odd collection represents comfort rather than creepiness; she grew up here, sitting on phone books to reach the cash register, finding solace among the preserved creatures that unnerved her classmates. When Uncle Earl leaves for knee surgery, Kara discovers a jagged hole in the drywall of the otter room. With help from Simon - the enigmatic barista from next door who claims his mismatched eyes came from absorbing his twin in the womb - they investigate what should be simple damage. Instead, they find a concrete corridor stretching impossibly far beyond where the building should end. The hallway extends thirty feet, its walls covered in strange, iridescent moisture that seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. It leads to a massive circular chamber with ancient-looking graffiti and a heavy metal door marked with elaborate geometric patterns. "This is physically impossible," Kara realizes, measuring the space. "This hallway can't exist. The building next door - your coffee shop - should be right here. We're literally standing where people are drinking lattes right now."
