Hollow Kind<\/h3>\n

Andy Davidson<\/strong> joins us with his new epic horror novel about the spectacular decline of the Redfern family, haunted by an ancient evil.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It turns out that the “estate” is a decrepit farmhouse on a thousand acres of old pine forest, but Nellie is so thrilled about the chance for a fresh start for her and her son, that she doesn’t notice that there’s something wrong with Redfern Hill. Something lurks beneath the soil, ancient and hungry, with the power to corrupt hearts and destroy souls.<\/p>\n

From the author of\u00a0The Boatman’s Daughter<\/em>,\u00a0The Hollow Kind\u00a0<\/em>is a jaw-dropping novel about legacy and the horrors that hide in the dark corners of family history. Andy Davidson’s gorgeous, Gothic fable tracing the spectacular fall of the Redfern family will haunt you long after you turn the final page.<\/p>\n
