The Hollow Season Returns Each Winter

The Hollow Season Returns Each WinterWhen the snow falls, the dead walk again. Every winter, in the forgotten town of Durness Hollow, the snow brings more than cold - it brings back the dead. When Arden Blake, a former investigative journalist scarred by tragedy, inherits an isolated mountain lodge from a relative she never met, she sees it as a chance to escape and rebuild her life. Accompanied by her sensitive niece, Wren, she arrives just as the first snowfall begins.
But the forest surrounding Durness Hollow holds secrets buried deep in the ice - and someone, or something, is watching them. It starts slowly. Whispered voices at night. Frosted windows spelling out names long forgotten. Wren begins to draw faces she's never seen, of children long dead. A local biologist, Eli Calder, and folklore scholar Lydia Harrow step in to help, revealing a dark history: centuries ago, the town made a pact to survive a brutal winter.
Now, each year, the Hollow demands its due - and it's hungry for more than memories. As the snow deepens and the isolation thickens, Arden must unravel her family's chilling connection to the town's curse. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes: some winters never end. And some sacrifices cannot be undone. This is a 20-chapter gothic horror novel, rich in atmosphere, layered with psychological tension, and built on a slow-burning mystery that erupts into full supernatural terror.
Each chapter takes you deeper into the frozen grip of the Hollow, unveiling buried truths, haunting rituals, and a winter that refuses to die. Why you should read this book: If you love eerie, snowbound horror that creeps under your skin. If you're drawn to haunted settings, dark folklore, and morally complex characters. If you enjoy slow-building suspense that leads to unforgettable revelations. If you crave a story where the setting becomes a character, cold, unforgiving, and alive.
