Serenity Sellers has built a career turning monsters into stories.
Then one of them looked back.
Twenty years ago, Ser watched her childhood best friend vanish near an abandoned farm deep in the South Carolina pines. Nikki was never found. The town moved on. Ser never really did.
Now Nikki is back.
She hasn't aged a day.
Drawn home by a mystery no one else seems willing to face, Ser finds herself tangled in a nightmare of cult rituals, impossible survivors, and something moving at the edges of reality.
Marshal Cole wants evidence.
Ser wants answers.
The thing in the dark seems to want her.
But as bodies pile up and secrets begin clawing their way into the light, Ser uncovers a truth far worse than any monster story: the supernatural may open the door, but it is always people who choose what walks through it.
Because the real horrors are rarely the things in the shadows.
They are the ones smiling in daylight.
Blending supernatural horror, dark humor, emotional depth, and sharp character chemistry, The Hollow Places: On Monsters and the Missing is the first installment in the Serendipity Sellers Cases, a genre-bending paranormal mystery series about grief, storytelling, trauma, and the terrifying things human beings become for power.
