Hollow Season

By Nathan Graves

In Barrow's Glen, autumn ends when the wind shifts, and what was lost comes home.

Investigative journalist Maya Riordan arrives in a remote Ozark town to document an authentic harvest festival. What she discovers is a community bound by a chilling covenant: every October, for seven days, the boundary between past and present dissolves. The returned, translucent echoes of the sacrificed dead, walk among the living, and the town must feed the hollow with memory itself.

But this year, something has changed. Maya's arrival isn't coincidence. Her grandmother was given to the hollow decades ago, her mother died fleeing its pull, and now the pattern demands completion. As reality unravels and the townspeople dissolve into the space between living and dead, Maya must choose: surrender to the hollow, participate in communal erasure, or find a third way that no one has ever survived.

A literary horror novel about the tyranny of tradition, the weight of inherited trauma, and the terrible cost of witnessing truth. Perfect for readers who loved The Only Good Indians, Mexican Gothic, and The Grip of It.
