PRAISE FOR THE HOLLOW ONES:
"The central aesthetic decision -- merging the classical horrors of
Algernon Blackwood with a distinctly contemporary narrative -- is
both surprising and ultimately successful. The Hollow Ones is a
swift, thoroughly imagined entertainment that looks back at the
genre's past while hinting, in the final pages, of future
installments to come. The possibilities are limitless."--Washington
Post
"A transporting, pageturning thriller that rips open a brand new
universe, filling it with suspense. Guillermo del Toro and Chuck
Hogan have a dark vision to share -- and they've created quite a
duo in Hugo Blackwood and Odessa Hardwicke, a Sherlockian
partnership for the ages."--Brad Meltzer, #1 NYT bestselling author
of The Escape Artist
"A welcome gift to disciples of Lovecraft-ian fiction. Odessa
Hardewick is cast in the mold of Clarice Starling. . . Inventive
and macabre."--Kirkus
"Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's Pendergast books will
be enthralled."--Publishers Weekly
"Fans of Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro -- the co-writer with
Chuck Hogan -- will appreciate the focus on the monsters at the
center of the tale. . . The book is a quick read, with propulsive
action and just enough explication to keep readers interested. . .
del Toro and Hogan ground the story in just enough reality to keep
you turning the pages."--Associated Press
"If one could combine the world-conjuring magic of C. S. Lewis with
the dark energy of Thomas Harris, one would be at least part of the
way to understanding what makes THE HOLLOW ONES so special.
Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan have yet another twisted
masterpiece on their hands. An enduring new series combining
horror, suspense, and fable."--Stephen Chbosky, NYT bestselling
author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Imaginary Friend
