Hollow Tree
Hollow Tree | James Brodgen
24 posts | 13 read | 24 to read
From the critically acclaimed author of Hekla's Children comes a dark and haunting tale of our world and the next. After her hand is amputated following a tragic accident, Rachel Cooper suffers vivid nightmares of a woman imprisoned in the trunk of a hollow tree, screaming for help. When she begins to experience phantom sensations of leaves and earth with her missing limb, Rachel is terrified she is going mad... but then another hand takes hers, and the trapped woman is pulled into our world. This woman has no idea who she is, but Rachel can't help but think of the mystery of Oak Mary, a female corpse found in a hollow tree, and who was never identified. Three urban legends have grown up around the case; was Mary a Nazi spy, a prostitute or a gypsy witch? Rachel is desperate to learn the truth, but darker forces are at work. For a rule has been broken, and Mary is in a world where she doesn't belong...

🎧 They had me at traumatic hand amputation & went from there.

Rachel has an accident where her left hand is mashed & ultimately amputated at the beginning of the book.

Her and her newlywed Husband work through the aftermath. Then she starts feeling things with her missing hand and hearing things.

There are 3 myths about the body of a dead woman wound in a hollow tree & each myth is fully explored.

I enjoyed the book & liked Rachel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

I picked these up from the library today. I need to finish my current reads before I touch any of them, though. I'm also saving them for the #readathon

Car service reading time!

They now have these activity books here (clearly for little kids) and I‘ve been strongly resisting coloring one. However, someone did leave this car model behind from their activity book and I took this picture on the sly so nobody would think I was weird. Not sure I would have gone with a white car with orange stripes 🤔

Ok I‘m gonna read now 🤣

Been meaning to try this author for a while. Was definitely not disappointed with this book. Totally hooked me and was not what I expected. I really didn‘t see where it was going at points, and it was quite unique.

I‘m about a third of the way through and enjoying it. After a tragic accident, the life of a woman is inexorably intertwined with another beyond the grave. It is developing into quite the ghost story and I can‘t wait to see how everything is connected....👇

LiterRohde The Golem and Jinni | Helene Wecker

I‘ve only just begun the journey with this one. In just the first few chapters, the loneliness and and desire to be understood is pervasive. And the magical elements only enhance this “otherness”. It is heartbreaking. I am looking forward to continuing this exploration into what I can only describe as what it means to be human....👇

I picked this up because of the beautiful cover and I wanted to know who danced with Mary before she died. Then I read the back and got The Corpse Bride vibes and immediately checked it out. Rachel lost her hand in an accident and can now see into the land of the dead. She accidentally pulls Oak Mary out of a tree and things come hunting them. Loved it!

kaysworld1 @BookishTrish I'm not really fussed I'm just a slow reader. The book will be coming back to me anyway so I'll finish it them. 6y

Political garbage aside, I genuinely love Twitter. How often do you get to interact with writers of books you love immediately?!

That being said, this book is true spectacular. I couldn‘t put it down, it was woven so well and beautifully. Pick it up!
