House of Hollow
by Sutherland, Krystal
Ten years ago, the three Hollow sisters vanished, only to reappear a month later with no memory of where they had been and a strange, unsettling change in their physical presence. Now, they are beautiful, magnetic, and deeply wrong. When the eldest sister disappears again, the remaining two are forced to confront the decaying, supernatural reality they have tried to outrun. This is a story that feels like a fever dream, heavy with the scent of rot and flowers. It is not just a mystery; it is a visceral examination of sisterhood, trauma, and the price of surviving something that should have killed you. If you appreciate prose that lingers in your throat like smoke and enjoy stories where the horror is woven into the mundane, you will find this impossible to put down.
