The Hollowing by Robert Holdstock: A
Books
Category: Fantasy

A fascinating story. It holds you in its arms and pulls you deeper into it, like the woods themselves. When a Father loses his Son to the woods, he goes after him. Only these woods have a dark secret that is made even worse by the presence of the boy. The father must try to get his son out and fight off the danger of the woods. Apparently there are other stories (this is the 4th) written about these woods, but I have not gotten around to reading them yet. When I picked up this book, I was fascinated by the world within the woods that Robert Holdstock invented. The more I learned about them, the more fascinated I became. They hold a direct line to the psyche. If you like these sort of tales, then The Hollowing is definitely worth buying (perhaps in Hardback). You would be remiss at not reading this book.
