Exclusive Cover Reveal: The Hollows by Daniel Church

Today, we’ve got a special treat for you readers of Grimdark Magazine. We’ve teamed up with our friends over at Angry Robot for an exclusive cover reveal for their November lead title, The Hollows by Daniel Church. With the tagline The Dark is Coming. Survive The Night. this sounds like the perfect read for our audience, and we can’t wait to get our greedy hands on a copy. Set in the Peak District village of Barsall, and featuring agonising suspense, unforgettable characters and an enemy who will linger in your imagination for many years to come, The Hollows is billed as perfect for readers of No Exit and Moon of the Crusted Snow and fans of 30 Days of Night.

And thanks to the wonderful Angry Robot team, we’re giving you the chance to get a first look at The Hollows – over on our Twitter (@adrianGdMag) we are running a giveaway for three physical ARCs of the book, one going to a reader in the UK, one to the US and to our great excitement, one to a reader based outside those places. So head over there and enter – after having a good look at the cover, and reading on for the blurb and thoughts on the cover from the author, editor and designer.

Kieryn Tyler, Designer at Watkins Media: “The Hollows‘ cover perfectly sums up the spooky and desolate setting the novel takes place in.”

Simon Spanton, Editor at Angry Robot: “The forbidding landscape of the Peak District in the depths of winter and Daniel’s evocation of both that and the bleak isolation of the town as the darkness he imagined bears down, made a landscape shot a natural choice for the cover – and our design team came up trumps. The road invites you in, the hills crowd round and the sign carries a warning. I love it – it’s one of those perfect “Does exactly what it says on the tin” covers.

Daniel Church, Author: “Snowbound Derbyshire hills, a road leading to an unknown destination, the ominous danger sign – it’s a pitch-perfect cover that shows the reader exactly what’s in store without even a hint of a spoiler. Superb work. I love it.”
