Hollow

The Hollow are a series of novels by fantasy fiction, young adult, and horror novelist, the award-winning Christopher Golden. The first novel in the Hollowseries was “Horseman” first published in 2005, that just like his previous novels went on to become very popular. After the first novel enjoyed much success, Golden went on to publish three more titles in the series with the last one published in 2006. Co-authored with Ford Lytle Gilmore the young adult author the series is derived from Washington Irving’s very popular work “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. The Hollow series is set in the small town of Hollow, that is under a curse and heavily infested with the paranormal. Since Golden grew up as a Stephen King fan, it is not surprising that Christopher Golden’s work in the series has been compared to that of the master horror storyteller. The theme of the lead characters having to confront some of the darkest and most terrifying of the paranormal is particularly poignant in the series of novels. The lead characters in the series are two siblings Shane and Aime that have to face up to a range of paranormal objects and creatures in their small hometown of Sleepy Hollow. Aside from Stephen King, the author asserts the influence of TV series and movies such as Creature Double Feature, Kolchak the Night Stalker, and the Twilight Zone as major influences in the writing of the series of novels.
