House of Hollow
A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night.
Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.
But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time - something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home.

Krystal Sutherland
Krystal Sutherland has built her writing life on the edge of light and shadow, telling stories where beauty often hides something unsettling beneath the surface. Born in Townsville, Australia in 1990, she grew up in a landscape of endless summers, a setting that shaped her fascination with contrasts, sunlight against darkness, love against loss, and the ordinary touched by the uncanny.
Her breakout came with Our Chemical Hearts (2016), a tender and bruising look at first love and the ways it can unravel. Readers were drawn to its raw honesty, and the novel went on to be adapted into the Amazon Studios film Chemical Hearts. Sutherland followed with A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares, where curses, fears, and family secrets collide in a narrative that mixes surreal whimsy with heartfelt truth.
