The Hollow Mist

Something ancient lives beneath Ridge Hollow.

Something that learns. Something that hunts.

When a creeping mist descends on a remote mountain town, people disappear without a trace. No blood. No bodies. Just silence — and the whisper of something moving beneath their feet.

Alex Hale never meant to stay in Ridge Hollow. She came to disappear, to outrun a past made of grief and ghosted missions. But when the fog turns deadly on her very first night, leaving isn’t an option anymore.

With the town cut off from the world, Alex finds herself fighting alongside strangers who are more frightened than ready — including Bree Carter, a stubborn, sharp-witted woman determined to protect her brother and anyone else the fog tries to take. What begins as reluctant cooperation turns into a quiet, aching bond neither of them expected… or know how to navigate while death presses against their doors.

As the mist grows thicker and the town’s residents vanish one by one, Alex uncovers a horrifying truth: the fog isn’t weather. It’s alive. It thinks. It adapts. And it wants them.

To stop it, Alex will have to go underground — into the abandoned mine tunnels the town has feared for generations. What she finds there will push every instinct, every secret, and every fragile hope to the breaking point.

A claustrophobic, emotional, slow-burn sapphic horror novel about survival, found family, and choosing life even when the world feels already gone.

The fog is watching.

The ground remembers.

Some things don’t stay buried.
