Description
Nellie Gardner is looking for a way out of an abusive marriage when she learns that her long lost grandfather, August Redfern, has willed her his turpentine estate. She throws everything she can think of into a bag and flees to Georgia with her eleven-year-old son, Max, in tow.
The “estate” turns out to be a decrepit farmhouse on a thousand acres of old pine forest, but Nellie is thrilled to have a fresh start for her and Max, and a chance for the happy home she never had. So it takes her a while to notice the strange scratching in the walls, the faint whispering at night, how the forest is eerily quiet. But Max sees what his mother can’t: there’s something wrong with Redfern Hill. Something lurks beneath the soil, ancient and hungry, with the power to corrupt hearts and destroy souls. A kingdom of grief and death, to which Nellie’s own blood has granted her the key.
Andy Davidson's gorgeous, Gothic fable tracing the spectacular fall of the Redfern family will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
Advance Praise

"Whether you call it historical horror, folk horror, or southern gothic, Andy Davidson's The Hollow Kind is as beautifully written as it is chilling.

“A deep, dark story of family secrets and inherited horrors, Andy Davidson’s The Hollow Kind is as gripping and twisted as old tree roots―you can practically smell the creosote and longleaf pine. This one kept me up, turning pages long into the night.” ―T. Kingfisher, author of What Moves the Dead
“The Hollow Kind is a gloriously wild, twisted family saga with buckets of body horror and is going to mess you up good.” ―Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club, on Twitter
