The Mystery of the Hollow Sisters

In this dark, modern fairy tale, three sisters discover they're not what they seem, and that bad things happen when night falls. The mystery of the Hollow sisters is a chilling story that will make you want to sleep with the light on.

When they were eleven, nine, and seven, the Hollow sisters disappeared for a month without a trace. It was New Year's Eve, and in the brief instant of a quick kiss at midnight, the three sisters were gone.

There was no one in sight. There was no noise. No witnesses, no corner where the children could have hidden—or been taken. One moment they were there, and the next, they were gone.

When the Hollow sisters were miraculously found one freezing night, they were clinging to each other on the same street from which they had disappeared. Grey, the eldest sister, carried a bloody knife and no memory. Neither of them remembered anything. Aside from the knife, the only clue was a hook-shaped scar on their necks.

But the Hollow sisters were different. Whether it was due to trauma, no one could say. The girls had no memory of what happened during the month they were missing, but the changes were too obvious to ignore. And too disturbing. Their blue eyes had given way to somber black ones, and their dark hair was now snow-white.

Ten years later, the disappearance of Grey, Vivi, and Iris remains unexplained, but the mystery of the Hollow sisters is just beginning.
