A review by martinroberts
The Hollower by Mary SanGiovanni
3.0
Whilst I'm not against the writing itself,I just found that I did not care what happened to the characters...
There were moments when I could not read fast enough but all of a sudden I'd feel like I was just thrown out of the plot because the Hollower would just repeat his actions with a new character.
Sadly, the Elm Street franchise is also brought to mind and that hinders the novel too.
The bottom line is that its a good starting point for those new to the horror genre in both books and films.
12/01/02 - I revisited this one over the weekend and felt that I'd been harsh and have consequently decided it to be a three star read.
