The Hollowing review by SMo
Profile Picture
SMo

The boy in the cathedral remembers nothing. The "giggler" torments him from the edge of the wood, just out of sight. His imagination is running wild, and as it does, all the things in it become reality, dangerous reality. Richard's son died years ago; the remains of his body were found on the edge of Ryhope Wood, unidentifiable, but there. When a woman comes out of the woods who knows where Alex is, but doesn't exactly, and has communicated with him, sort of, Richard is understandably confused. Does he dare hope to find the son he thought dead?
