Hell Hollow / Ronald Kelly Cemetery Dance / October 2009 Reviewed by: San Francsico Book Review
There's something enrapturing about a story involving some kids who are
heroes that save the day. It reminds us of times when we were young,
going out on fantasy adventures in our own little worlds. Hell Hollow is
one of those stories set in the rural town of Harmony, Tennessee. The
secret of the evil of Hell Hollow has been hidden and forcibly forgotten
by its residents for a long time, until it is awakened and will involve
four bored kids looking for some excitement during their summer. Then
there is the killer who has yet to be captured, on the run from the law,
continuing to mercilessly kill, and the rape victim who is on a specific
mission. All of these characters will play a part in Ronald Kelly's Hell
Hollow. Kelly uses a descriptive, colorful writing style that matches
the tone and plot of the book, keeping you hooked.
