Don't Let the Forest In meets The Whispering Dark in a queer YA cult horror following a recently diagnosed autistic teen who becomes enmeshed in a community of outcasts harboring sinister secrets. When Cassie Davis returns to her hometown in upstate New York, eager to mask her autism diagnosis from her old friends, tensions rise.
On a backpacking trip to celebrate her homecoming, Cassie wakes to an abandoned campsite and discovers an off-the-grid compound called the Roost. Here she finds an enigmatic boy named Kaleb who makes Cassie feel, for the first time, as if she truly belongs. But at what price?
In a world where autistic characters rarely get to be the hero of their own stories, Cassie Davis's one-step-back, two-steps-forward journey to unmasking makes Hollow as much a love letter to neurodiversity as it is a haunting tale you'll want to read with the lights on. Read if You Love:
