Review Quotes

"Patrick Delaney's gripping Silver Hollow begins in amnesia and impossible memories, stuttering forward through disjointed experiences as its protagonist tries to make sense of a situation whose details continually slip, continually fail to add up. Wandering the moodily-lit landscape of a Hopper painting, navigating a narrative located at the intersection of Hitchcockian paranoia and the Lynchian surreal, Delaney's protagonist must solve the mystery of her surroundings, which also promises to solved the mystery of herself. The answer to her questions outer and inner combines in an ending surprising, memorable, and heartbreaking." -John Langan, author of Children of the Fang and Other Genealogies and The Fisherman

"A visit to Silvers Hollow reads like a mashup of The Twilight Zone and Pleasantville. Delaney keeps readers guessing until the very end. A delicious fever dream." -Sadie Hartmann, Cemetery Dance

"Readers who devoured Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts (2015) and who find unreliable narrators compelling will be intrigued by this premise, which, although it can be read as a stand-alone, has tie-ins to Delaney's previous work. This slow burn, mind-bending horror novel will satisfy readers who will question how the protagonist can escape the blurred lines between reality and imagination." -Booklist

"Silvers Hollow combines eerie atmosphere and frightening imagery to instill a sense of creeping dread. This one stays with you." -Briana Morgan, author of Unboxed
