Step into Burrington, a town where time twists, shadows linger, and Halloween never truly ends. In The Hollowed Hours: Five Mind-Bending Tales of Horror and Suspense from Burrington, five chilling short stories plunge you into a night unlike any other. October 31, 1826, when children vanish, restless spirits roam, and the dead reclaim the streets they once called home.
From the cursed Blackwood House to haunted forests, from the wrath of an ancient Pagan goddess to a mother's desperate bargain with forces beyond this world, each tale exposes a fragment of Burrington's dark heart. Follow Meredith, Lavinia, and the children of the Hollowed Hours as the town itself pulses with secrets, hunger, and malevolence.
Perfect for fans of gothic horror, supernatural suspense, and psychological thrillers, this collection immerses readers in a world where the line between life and death, and reality and nightmare, is razor-thin. Dare to walk Burrington's streets... if you survive, you'll never see Halloween the same way again.
