The Hollow Chapel

by Chasity Phillips

$5.99

​It begins with the sudden, freezing drop in temperature and the suffocating stench of stagnant river rot. Then come the changes in his wife, Beth, whose mind and body are violently hijacked by something ancient, cold, and dripping with the mud of the nearby ridge. With a horrific, permanent grin carved onto her face, she wanders the halls, completely under the thrall of a entity that speaks with the discordant chorus of a thousand trapped children. ​When teenagers Trisha and Marsha unearth an antique Ouija board in the upper bedrooms, they accidentally tear open a doorway to the past. They reach the spirit of Lilly Chambers—an eight-year-old girl who vanished into the hollow in 1950, her soul bound to a crudely stitched cloth poppet. Lilly’s spirit offers a single, desperate warning: RUN. ​But the doors are locked, the neighborhood is no longer safe, and a gruesome murder at the foot of the attic stairs proves that the entity is done hiding in the shadows. As the line between the living and the dead splinters, Calvin must find a way to break the curse before his daughters become the next vessels for a bloodline of stolen souls.
