Former detective David Alders is forced to downsize to an apartment after a decade searching for his missing wife. To avoid staggering debt, he and his daughter Melanie move into the Whispering Hollows, a complex full of older residents, like the charmingly befuddled Eldon or the redneck property manager Charlie.
On the first night Melanie is terrorized when a burnt corpse crawls into bed with her. And events only get stranger as David finds himself reliving the same day twice! Suddenly, time travel is an all-too-real tool at his disposal, one he can use to finally return to the love of his life.
But time travel comes with rules. Deadly consequences await anyone bold enough to break them. As David wades cautiously into the past, he learns the awful truth of his existence:
He didn’t choose The Hollows. The Hollows chose him…
REVIEWS:
“If you are an aficionado of noir fiction, The Hollows will immerse you in a nether world, terrifying yet scintillating at the same time. The Ben Larken mystery thriller is strongly recommended.”

“Ben Larken’s The Hollows breathes whole new life into the horror genre by taking the time-honored device of time travel and turning it on its head. The Hollows was truly a book I didn’t want to put down the entire time I was reading it.”
