The Hollow Tree


"This is nicely done hokum featuring one of the great scary lines: 'She was still screaming long after she died.' Eek."
Daily Mail

"An intriguing and exciting supernatural horror that grips you like wolverine with lockjaw."
Horror Hot House

"With tight pacing and a strong ending, it's one of the best horror/fantasy novels I've read this year."
Adventures in Poor Taste

""Brogden has created another highly satisfying novel here, one that feels both familiar and original....His writing style lends itself to a fast read, the nearly 500 pages a blur with a thriller s pace that eschews the descriptive traps of traditional fantasy. This novel should be considered as one of the highlights of the year, for both horror and fantasy lovers."
Cemetery Dance Magazine

For a rule has been broken, and Mary is in a world where she doesn t belong...
