Overview

Some towns smile to hide their teeth.

When journalist Clara Moss receives an unsigned letter about her missing brother, it leads her to Hollowbrook—a postcard-perfect village with locked doors, rehearsed smiles, and a church scrubbed of God. There she meets Evelyn, a gentle local desperate to escape. Their pull is immediate—and dangerous. As Clara digs, streets loop back on themselves, symbols multiply, and an old secrets resurface.

Love, devotion, and survival knot together as reality frays and Clara's body begins to betray her. In Hollowbrook, truth has a price—and the cycle never ends.

The Hollow Town is a sapphic romantasy/cosmic-horror novella about grief, obsession, and the beautiful mask of small-town perfection.
