I would classify House of Hollow as a mild horror… and I’m a total chicken when it comes to being scared.

Overall, this was a pretty good read. I didn’t love it like I did House of Salt and Sorrow or Horrid, both 5 star reads for me. But I didn’t at any point DISlike it either. As I sit here writing this review, I actually find that I just don’t have much to say about it either way.

I would recommend this one to fans of light horror or those wanting to give horror a try to see if they even like it. It’s definitely not on par with Stephen King or Dean Koontz, which I used to read a lot of when I was younger and not afraid of everything. But it is a good YA option. There are some fantasy elements to it as well, but it’s not a fantasy per se.
