The Hollow Man

Beware of the Red Chair

In 1984, an ancient terror emerged during an early season snowstorm. Four teenaged boys disappeared.

Sara Tate is not your average twelve-year-old—she has the unique ability to see and communicate with the supernatural. After a mysterious vision connects her to the decades-old disappearance of the boys, Sara realizes she’s witnessing a nightmare from the past: The Hollow Man, a ghostly figure who feeds on children’s souls.

When Sara’s brother Charlie becomes the Hollow Man’s next target, she must venture into a decaying realm called “The Hollow” to save him. There, she discovers the imprisoned souls of countless children taken over the centuries. What begins as a rescue mission soon reveals a connection to dark witchcraft that stretches back to the 1800s.

As past and present collide, Sara faces her greatest challenge yet: not only must she confront the Hollow Man, but she must also discover the truth about her own extraordinary abilities before more children disappear.
