Holly is a gripping crime novel — one that's very close to the traditional King horror aesthetic. The author hasn't been shy about his politics, but this is one of his most political books to date.
Many readers have, at some point, come across this famous Stephen King quote. The process of creating books is also magic, and that magic gives characters their own personalities — which means they can surprise an author even when they've worked on character development a lot and think they know all there is to know about them. Holly Gibney is a perfect example of this., an Edgar Award-winning novel and the first book in the Bill Hodges Trilogy.
While looking into Bonnie Rae's disappearance, Holly comes across another missing person, a boy who also mysteriously vanished. As Holly and Jerome look into the two cases, they become convinced they're related. And they might be right. A few blocks from where Bonnie Rae was last seen, professors Rodney and Emily Harris are hiding a lot of dark secrets under their respectable facade.
is a gripping crime novel, but it's one that's very close to the horror aesthetic King is known for. The things Rodney and Emily Harris do in their basement — and some of the things they do with the...aftermath of their actions in their daily lives — are hideous and shocking in ways that will satisfy horror fans.
