Description
The river gives back what it takes. Whether you want it to - or not. Twelve years ago, Mara Devlin watched her younger brother drown in the Hollow River. She survived, but the guilt never left her. The river took Thomas. The river kept Thomas. Now, the river is waking up. When a soaked, silent, identical version of Mara emerges from the water one morning, it’s only the first sign that reality in the small mountain town is beginning to fracture. More “returns” follow - people long dead, people who never existed, people who seem to be copies of the living. Some peaceful. Some violent. Some remembering lives that never happened. And the river keeps rising. As duplicates spread through Hollow River, Mara is forced into an impossible confrontation - with herself, with her memories, and with a brother who shouldn’t exist yet stands before her soaked in riverwater. The town unravels into paranoia and violence as the boundaries between worlds collapse, pulling every resident into a conflict where only one version of each person can remain. When the flood night comes, Mara must face the truth the river has been whispering all along: Not everyone who comes back gets to stay. And not every memory is yours to keep. HOLLOW RIVER is an atmospheric, reality-bending supernatural thriller perfect for fans of The Fisherman, The Haunting of Hill House, Twin Peaks, and cosmic horror with emotional depth. A story of grief, identity, and the terrible cost of second chances.
