NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night.
This story will steal up your spine, slip beneath your skin, and stick to you like honey. Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
This haunting modern fairy tale will wrap you up like a glittering fog, before going for your throat. Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood

Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. As children, they disappeared on a Scottish city street only to return a month later with no memory of what had happened to them or where they d been. More troubling, their appearance began to change: their blue eyes now black, their dark hair now white. And as they grew older, odd, eerie occurrences seemed to follow in their wake. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.
Now seventeen-year-old Iris is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time something her two famous, glamorous, globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing, leaving behind bizarre clues as to her whereabouts, Iris and Vivi are left to find her but they aren t the only ones looking. As they brush against the supernatural, Iris quickly realizes that the story she s been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago might just be calling them back again.
Darkly seductive, this twisty modern-day fairy tale by critically acclaimed author Krystal Sutherland is a gripping and terrifying journey. Readers will not be able to look away.

Rezension

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, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood
Wonderfully creepy and full of unnerving supernatural flourishes. PopSugar
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, New York Times bestselling author of the Bone Season series and The Priory of the Orange Tree
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 House of Hollow. Louise O Neill, author of Printz Award Honoree Asking for It
Dark and delicious, House of Hollow hums with malice and mystery. I devoured it whole. Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies
An intoxicating, gorgeously grotesque fever dream full of the impossible stench of carrion flowers, the allure of haunted stairways in the woods and doors leading nowhere. A beautifully crafted, addictively dark fairy tale with horns! Dawn Kurtagich, author of The Dead House

Sutherland keeps this haunting, contemporary fairy tale poised on the edge of gorgeous and gruesome, with visceral descriptions of sensual yet menacing magic hidden in the everyday. . . Hand this to your Nova Ren Suma and Melissa Albert fans. Booklist, starred review
This is slow-burn horror with imagery steeped in the senses . . . and Sutherland maximizes tension by playing into familiar tropes and then tearing away from them . . . The ending manages to be both horrific and heartbreaking . . . [with a] lingering chill. BCCB, starred review
[Readers] will be eviscerated. . . 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. School Library Journal
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. Kirkus Reviews
This high speed ride will catapult readers to an end many may see coming, but which is nevertheless shocking when it finally arrives. School Library Connection
Filled with evocative detail, Sutherland s dark fantasy teems with eerie atmosphere . . . [in] Sutherland s carefully crafted fantasy world. Readers who are delighted by stories of the uncanny . . . will find themselves enchanted. Publishers Weekly

    A dark and atmospheric read!

    This story left me breathless. I could not stop reading and after a day of flying through the book I found myself with a new favourite. The gorgeous cover drew me in and the characters and incredible story progression soon took hold of me. ‘House of Hollow’ tackles a range of important topics throughout the story. In its midst the reader finds what the power and dangers of beauty really mean. Something that also positively surprised me was that very casually the author mentioned in the beginning of the book that two of the three sisters are LGBT+. It’s not the focus of the story nor would it make a difference if all three of them were straight, but it’s just so great to read a story with queer main characters where their sexuality is not the topic of the whole book and is just another fact about them. Be warned that the book gets very dark in the end and has a surprising revelation waiting for you.

    Amazing mystery

    I would recommend it for sure! An amazing book, a mystery that got you hooked, a there page turner. It's a well written story, that has you guessing what's coming next all the time. Plot twist was not unpredictable, but still impressive. It came all at the end together, everything finally made sense.

    ''What you don't understand is that I am the thing in the dark.''

    Three sisters. One night they disappeared and came back as something completely different. Years later the oldest of them disappears again.. A twisting, creepy but fascinating dark fantasy novel, which had me completely in its grip!

    Solid

    Fourteen year old me would have loved everything about this book. The vibes are quite dark for a YA novel, and also a bit spooky, which makes it a great autumn read. However, the language doesn’t quite do it for me, as well as the countless pop culture references. Is the plot believable? Hell no, not even in fantasy standards. Is it enjoyable? Oh yes! Would I recommend this book? Maybe, if one can handle another teenager not fitting into this world constantly complaining about it. (4/5)
