“Via Sadie’s insightful first-person narration, Hollowell (A Dark and Starless Forest) skillfully entwines atmospheric prose bursting with 2010s pop-culture references, and disturbing scenes of body horror with sensitive explorations of neurodivergence, misogyny, internalized anti-fat bias, and emotional abuse. Sadie and Logan’s friendship serves as a strong and passionate anchor, giving heft to both the physical and interpersonal stakes of this twisted ma(i)ze of surreal psychological horror.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A trippy supernatural thriller.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A horrific read sure to hook many with its sinister setting, sickening mystery, strong friendship, and teen introspection.” — School Library Journal
“Hollowell takes great care in representing anxiety, fatness, and poverty as normal and matter-of-fact aspects of her characters’ lives in this thoughtful and emotional horror novel.” — Booklist
