Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates? I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start. I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s missing? He knows where to find me.

When children across Briar County, West Virginia begin sleepwalking into the surrounding forests—returning barefoot, vacant-eyed, and with no memory of where they have been—Sheriff Dale Moody assumes the worst and steels himself for the kind of evil he understands. A predator. A cult. Something with a human face and a human motive. He is not prepared for what he finds. The effigies come first: crude figures of bundled twig and hand-drawn wire, hung from branches near the places where the children are recovered, each one bearing a carved facial likeness of terrifying accuracy. Then the children begin to change—subtly, quietly, in ways that are almost impossible to name but impossible to ignore. And then Moody's own niece walks into the dark, and does not walk back out. The Hollow Men of Briar Country is a novel about the things that occupy the negative space between trees. About the parts of children that exist before language finds names for them. About cycles older than any living memory and a land that has never entirely belonged to the people who settled it. It is also, at its marrow, a novel about a man who refuses to stop looking—and the precise, permanent cost of that refusal. Haunting, unhurried, and deeply rooted in the American rural gothic tradition, The Hollow Men of Briar Country announces itself as a work of sustained dread—the kind that does not announce its arrival and does not entirely leave when the book is closed.
