Hollow Creek

Hollow Creek, Maine, seems like any other isolated New England town, but beneath its tired facade lies a terrifying secret. The surrounding ancient woods are "hungry," a place where the familiar rules of the world don't apply once the sun sets.When high schooler Eli strays from his Boy Scout camp one October night, he encounters a primal, patient entity lurking in the darkness-a nightmare of wet whispers and bone-cracking sounds that chases him back to civilization.Saved by the cynical, weary Police Chief Brody, Eli quickly learns his close call was no isolated incident. The town has a "long memory," and its residents know better than to venture into the woods alone. The entity is patient, Brody warns, and once it has its eye on you, it doesn't forget.Now, Eli must confront the chilling reality that the nightmare he ran from didn't stay in the woods. It is waiting in the silent darkness that presses against the edges of the town, and Eli has a terrible, sinking feeling that it isn't done with him yet.Hollow Creek: The Baseline of Weird is a gripping atmospheric horror that explores what happens when a community learns to live side-by-side with an ancient, malevolent force-and what happens when that force finally decides to come collecting.
