Something very strange is happening in LeHorn's Hollow...
Eerie, piping music is heard late at night, and mysterious fires have been spotted deep in the woods. Women are vanishing without a trace overnight, leaving behind husbands and families.
When up-and-coming novelist Adam Senft stumbles upon an unearthly scene, it plunges him and the entire town into an ancient nightmare. Folks say the woods in LeHorn's Hollow are haunted, but what waits there is far worse than any ghost. It has been summoned...and now it demands to be satisfied.
Dark Hollow eBook Brian Keene
Brian Keene writes as a throw back pulp horror writer from the heyday of pulp horror.This isn't an insult, but it is the best way to describe this novel. It moves at a quick pace and when the ending comes, it comes in a glorious exposition of blood, guts, horror, and weary resolution. It's exhausting, as a good horror novel should be, and in the ending, the entire novel is lifted up from what might be a three-star effort to a solid four.
Keen is smart and he writes smart, but you might not believe me at first. I wasn't sure either. Until the end.
Please note I did notice some typographical and format errors. Nothing to complain about, but a half dozen or so are present.

Dark Hollow eBook Brian Keene Reviews
What a great read. Adam is a writer, he writes mystery novels, he lives in a close knit neighborhood and knows all his neighbors. While taking his trusty companion for their daily walk one day they hear pipe music and end up in the woods. There they see a neighbor doing things to a statue of a satyr. This is the start of one heck of a good ride. As people, especially women, start going missing, storeis of the cursed hollow and the family that made it so start getting everyone wondering what to believe.
This is a page turner, plain and simple. There wasn't one part of this book that was boring. Adam and his neighbors are all likeable characters. My favorite being Big Steve. The author had no trouble putting the reading into the book. You actually feel like you are living it with Adam. My only complaint is why did Big Steve have to die? Always kills me when the faithful dog has to die saving his master.
If you want to read a good spooky book, this is the one. It's not going to give me nightmares or anything and the gore level was perfect. Like all good scary books dealing with the supernatural, there is plenty of edge of the seat thrills and sex.
Keene is quickly working his way into my heart as a favorite author, and "Dark Hollow" may have clinched it. If you had told me two days ago that I would read a horror story about satyrs or fauns and actually like it I probably would have cocked an eyebrow at you and asked if you were feeling okay. But I more than "Liked it," this book was an absolute blast!
Short Summary Adam Senft is a mystery writer who lives with his wife Tara and their dog "Big Steve" in a nice house in a quaint town, bordering an ancient mysterious wood. One day while walking Big Steve though the woods, Adam and Big Steve come across one of their female neighbors performing questionable acts on a statue... or at least it looked like a statue until it turned its head and stared at Adam. Suddenly the women in town are disappearing and the men are turning up headless... Adam and his neighbors believe it has to do with something that happened many years ago at the LeHorn farm... in the center of the dark and sinister woods.
My favorite character by far is Big Steve (yes, he's the dog) who at times seems to be the most human of characters, and unlike most stories that include a dog, Big Steve is always there, being a good boy. The characters in this book are very real, flawed, scarred, and honest. I have always like that about Keene, his people are believable. This book grabs you right from the beginning and it's very hard to put down. At just over 300 pages you can feasibly read it in a day. I stayed up way later than I had intended to finish this book. And the ending is typical of Keene, no the world doesn't come crashing to the end, but there is that sense of apathetic loss that even his "happy ending" books leave you with. I wondered if Keene would have the courage to go where this book needed to go, and he did. There was quite a bit of sex and gore (the gore comes in mostly at the end) though not as much as a Laymon or Lee novel.
Now don't get me wrong, this is no work of literary genius... what it is however, is a fun, fast paced read with a single story line (unlike many of his other works) that the reader can't turn their eyes from. This is one of the few horror novels I've read in a while that makes you actually care about most of the characters, you become involved in their lives, and their routine and truly worry about them... particularly if you have read other Keene novels and know that there is a very high chance that most of them won't make it through the book alive. I highly recommend this book to Keene fans, it is my favorite of his works so far, and I feel that this book is the type of read that fans of old school Steven King would really enjoy.
