'A gorgeous, grisly modern fairy tale.'
- THE GUARDIAN

'Dark and delicious. House of Hollow hums with malice and mystery. I devoured it whole.'
- KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE

** SHORTLISTED FOR THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2022 **

The Hollow sisters - Vivi, Grey and Iris - are as seductively glamorous as they are mysterious. They have black eyes and hair as white as milk. The Hollow sisters don't have friends - they don't need them. They move through the corridors like sharks, the other little fish parting around them, whispering behind their backs.

And everyone knows who the Hollow sisters are. Because one day the three Hollow sisters simply disappeared. And when they came back, one month later, with no memory of where they had been, it was as if nothing had changed. Almost nothing. Apart from, for example, the little scar that had appeared in the hollow of their throats ... and a whispering sense that something is not quite right about them, despite (or maybe because of) the terrible passion to be with them that they can exert on anybody at will...

A thrilling, twisting, novel that is as seductive and glamorous as the Hollow sisters themselves.... Fantasy Horror Literature & Fiction Supernatural Thriller & Suspense Fiction Magic Paranormal Exciting

Critic reviews

Stepping nimbly among the liminal spaces and eerie real-world haunts of our heroine's cipher-sister, this haunting modern fairy tale will wrap you up like a glittering fog, before going for your throat. (Melissa Albert)
This dark, deliciously twisted novel has everything you could hope for as a reader - a brilliant concept, glamorous characters with secrets to hide, immersive world building, and some of the finest writing I've seen in YA fiction. I'll put it like this - I am obsessed with the House of Hollow. (Louise O'Neill)
Dark and delicious, HOUSE OF HOLLOW hums with malice and mystery. I devoured it whole. (Kiran Millwood Hargrave)
In House of Hollow, Krystal Sutherland turns her razor-sharp imagination to new horizons and proves, once again, that words blossom at her command. This story will steal up your spine, slip beneath your skin, and stick to you like honey. (Samantha Shannon)
Utterly gripping, deliciously strange and haunting. (Katherine Rundell)
Alive with lush language and a dark fairy tale feel, this is a compelling readalike for lovers of Holly Black's many wonderful fair folk standalones and series. (Abby Bussen)
Iris' smart and assured narration easily carries a fast-paced story entwining themes of grief and loss with elements of folklore and some very inventive body horror. The pervasive feeling of dread builds to a shocking twist. A lush and darkly twisted modern fairy tale.
House of Hollow is an eerily beautiful dark fable of sisterhood and horror stories that won't stay put on their pages. (Anna James)
Lush, sinister, beautiful and laced with corruption - the ultimate twisted fairytale (Imogen Russell Williams)
A gorgeous, grisly modern fairytale.
A genre-twisting mystery with a supernatural edge.
I gobbled this eerie and gorgeous book whole. It has proper Shirley Jackson vibes. Totally spellbinding.

It was a perfect mix of creepiness, horrifying and mysterious. With snippets of magic and folklore woven in.
I loved that at the center of this book was sisterly love. 
Also the plot twist at the end for who the villain was all along was brilliant. I loved that reveal. I really liked how this story was told and how it ended. But a part of me wants either a sequel or a short story about Vivi and Iris's next trip into the Halfway.
I would 100% recommend reading this book if you like dark, creepy and imaginative stories.

a beautiful, creepy story

Loved the twist near the end... a bit predictable, but still good... could be a good movie

Loved the vibes ! Spooky, fun and fresh - great narrator too. My only annoyance is the Americans of dialect - brits don’t say cops, band aid or side walk…
