A young adult horror novel that reimagines a beloved classic with a dark twist.

“Energetic and colorfully descriptive.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Full of thrills, chills, and lacy frills, readers will have fearful fun with every page.”—Sara Farizan, award-winning author of Dead Flip

Playmate, come out and play with me,
and bring your dollies three.
Climb up my apple tree,
look down my rain barrel,
slide down my cellar door,
and we’ll be jolly friends forevermore.

For Evie Archer, the story of Holly Hobbie’s disappearance is something only told in hushed conversations within her family. But seeking a fresh start after a difficult divorce, Evie’s mother moves the family to the Hobbie House in Ravenglass, Massachusetts, the very place where Holly vanished one night without a trace more than forty years ago.

When Evie finds Holly’s diary, a strange shadow begins to follow her everywhere she goes, and her dreams are plagued by nightmares of a bonneted girl. Could it be Holly trying to reach out to her? Or is it something else? Something worse?

Evie decides to investigate what happened the night Holly disappeared. But the deeper she goes to look for answers, the more she begins to lose herself in the process, until she can no longer tell what’s real and what isn’t.

Can Evie find out what happened to Holly? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?

Critic reviews

“Its myriad twists will keep readers riveted all the way to the satisfying climax . . . Bursting with dark history, ghoulish ghosts, and high-stakes secrets.”Publishers Weekly

“Energetic and colorfully descriptive.”Kirkus Reviews

“Holly Horror is an absolute blast! Full of thrills, chills, and lacy frills, readers will have fearful fun with every page. I didn’t want it to end!”—Sara Farizan, award-winning author of Dead Flip

“This book should come with a warning label: Do Not Read At Home Alone! With chilling twists and turns, a supremely creepy haunting, and moments of psychological terror that would make Shirley Jackson proud, Holly Horror is that rarest of treats: a genuinely scary ghost story. A must-read for all YA horror fans. I loved it!”—Rob Costello, contributing editor of Queer Beasties: 15 Weird & Wondrous Monster Tales and author of The Dancing Bears: Queer Fables for the End Times

“Michelle Corpora has taken the country cute gingham of Holly Hobbie, and reimagined a fabulous patchwork of nightmares. You’ll never look at that bonneted silhouette the same way again!”—Ann Dávila Cardinal, author of Breakup from Hell and contributing author of Our Shadows Have Claws: 15 Latin American Monster Stories
