Hinton Hollow Death Trip cover

This gripping tale chronicles five days in a small town, where darkness reveals the hidden malevolence of its residents in Hinton Hollow Death Trip.

In Hinton Hollow Death Trip, the narrative unfolds over five harrowing days in a seemingly ordinary rural town, where Evil takes center stage as an omniscient narrator. The story begins with young Henry Wallace, who is sent away by his mother to escape the impending darkness that looms over Hinton Hollow. With a population of just over five thousand, the town's quaintness belies the chaos that is about to ensue. As the days progress, the residents find themselves grappling with their deepest insecurities and hidden malevolence, all catalyzed by the sinister presence that has infiltrated their lives.

Evil's influence prompts the townsfolk to act in ways they never thought possible, revealing their true selves as they succumb to temptation. The narrative explores the moral decay that surfaces when darkness descends, leading to betrayal, theft, and even murder. Detective Sergeant Pace, returning to his childhood home in search of solace, discovers that he is not alone in his quest for peace. The malevolence that has gripped Hinton Hollow has its sights set on him as well.

Hinton Hollow Death Trip is a gripping exploration of human nature and the darkness that resides within us all. Will Carver masterfully crafts a tale that is both chilling and thought-provoking, challenging readers to confront the unsettling truths of their own lives. As the story unfolds, the reader is left to ponder the question: how far would one go when faced with their own demons?
