Review: THE HOLLOW PLACES


5 Speculative Stars 


I got to about 25% expecting the narrative to open up into a comfortable Lovecraftian multiverse of Cosmic Horror.  Then, suddenly,  I reached a particular scene, and as the protagonist (feckless, female) and sidekick (Southern, Gay) were simultaneously screaming internally, SO WAS I!! From that point on we were off on a wildly inventive, tremendously dangerous, roller coaster of Cosmic Horror and I don't think any of us have stopped screaming yet. WOW.
