A young woman discovers a strange portal in her uncle’s house, leading to madness and terror in this gripping new novel from the author of the “innovative, unexpected, and absolutely chilling” (Mira Grant, Nebula Award–winning author) The Twisted Ones.
Pray they are hungry. Kara finds the words in the mysterious bunker that she’s discovered behind a hole in the wall of her uncle’s house. Freshly divorced and living back at home, Kara now becomes obsessed with these cryptic words and starts exploring this peculiar area—only to discover that it holds portals to countless alternate realities.
But these places are haunted by creatures that seem to hear thoughts…and the more one fears them, the stronger they become. With her distinctive “delightfully fresh and subversive” (SF Bluestocking) prose and the strange, sinister wonder found in Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, The Hollow Places is another compelling and white-knuckled horror novel that you won’t be able to put down.

Read for Palestine: September Readathon with a Fundraiser for Dignity4Palestine
Here’s something you can do as a reader for Palestine this September! 🍉🤎
I’m late to this but thank you to @starry.steph for sharing about this! Read for Palestine is a readathon happening throughout September and @opacarophvlia @readsbyross are hosting a fundraiser for us readers in which we can raise £2/€2 for every book we read during the month! The goal is to raise £5000 throughout this month
This money goes to Dignity for Palestinians, a community based initiative in Gaza that provides essential support like food parcels, clean water and health services to the people who need it! If you can’t contribute, share the word about this, spread it to your book club/reader community and get as many people aware of it!
And they are also hosting a Readalong for Forest of Noise if you want to participate and partake in it!
Every little step counts, donating for one book, a small amount or sharing helps contribute to the fundraiser 🤎

[Poll:\ \ What era are you here for?\ \ \ \ Here is the second post that gives you an update of everything happening in the background with Chanterelle Solace and from your (hopefully) favourite Cottagecore Creator \ \ Summary:\ \
- Exciting News in the Cottagecore world\ \
- New Exciting things in Chanterelle Solace\ \
- What I've been playing\ \
- What I've been reading\ \ \ Exciting News in the Cottagecore World: \ \ This is just going to have some exciting news from this week (it wont be everything BUT this is what caught my eyes in the busy world we live in) AND the fun part? Cottagecore gets the cozy and the darker, whimsical things in here! Let's go:\ \ Book Related:\ \
- Cozy Quill, a bindery imprint by Meg, is publishing a COZY ROMANTASY next fall (2026) by Gryffin Murphy, same author as Love at first Lance!! This book, which is bound to be WONDERFUL is called Twig's Traveling Tomes \ \
- India Holton has announced not one but TWO new books coming out in 2027 and one is a Cozy, Cottagecore Romantasy (be still my heart) with a shy librarian in it AND another is a horror romantasy (AHHHH)\ \
- Dragon Bone Publishing (an indie press that is publishing Human Scars on Planet Skin, which is a cozy sci-fi horror mushroomcore book) is publishing a book called The Awakening of Lora Abernathy, which features a werewolve with chronic lyme disease AND is a novella with cozy fantasy horror vibes (or well genre) AND that is ALL I am saying! You need to tune in to Micah's instagram to see the gorgeous instagram cover tomorrow \ \ \ Gaming Related:\ \
- Tiny Bookshop is finally out (as evidential by my initial gaming impression in here) AND I am quite loving it! Let's give this indie game a try and that dopamine boost I get from recommending the right books? Nothing beats it lol. If you do enjoy this game, check out Book bound! \ \
- Out and About is now out and it has mushrooms in the title, that is all I am saying honestly \ \
- Palia is releasing an update on August 18th! \ \ \ New Exciting things in Chanterelle Solace: \ \ We have been growing this past month and I am fully focusing on getting you guys on the Cottagecore side of things! This is a place for the whimsical, cottagecore things and we just had a giveaway for our free members in discord for hitting our 100th member (we are now so close to 200 AHHH). This is some exciting news coming up soon:\ \
- Mushroomcore Giveaway in September for paid tier members \ \
- Mushroomcore Merch with a small business company\ \
- Mushroomcore House Related fun merch with a small business artist \ \ \ If you've been on the fence about subscribing to Chanterelle Solace, this is the time guys! Not only are we building a mushroomcore empire BUT I am hoping to one day build a Cottagecore Imprint that focuses on marginalised authors and includes diversity in the books while shouting about the Cottagecore sub-genre in Fantasy, Sci-fi and Horror!\ \ Join us in the Whimsical Side, as we frolick in the forest and join our pet mushroom, that can talk! \ \ The Games of the Week: \ \ So I'm still playing Tales of the Shire and have neared the ending on the main story (which I'm VERY sad about because what do you mean this is the end?) and I still love the game but I still stand with my initial impressions I shared last week.\ \ I do wish the game divided more into the Lore of LotR and as a reader, I was pretty excited for this aspect, more than anything because having a cozy game that remains COZY and dives into lores is quite a unique touch and addition (or would have been).\ \ Also, why is the main story of the game ending SO soon? I am about 25-ish hours in and I did expect more game play on this, especially for the price point. I am somewhere between a completionist and a main story gamer, so I will likely play a bit longer but then retire the game, until one day (hopefully) we hear of an update!\ \ I have started playing Tiny Bookshop and it is quite a lovely game. I am not so far into it but I am liking that we have REAL book titles in the game, because that is such a unique touch to a game! However, here is the down side: there isn't much to do while waiting for customers to ask you for book recommendations and I am bad at managing money in real life, as I am in the game (LOL, send help)\ \ Chanterelle Solace Gaming Club is playing Palia but as I have legit just moved about two weeks ago and still have no Wi-Fi, I am not able to join in on this fun gaming month! Of course, the free online MMO game gets chosen for the month I am MIA with a wifi connection lol (so unpredictable as always)\ \ What I've been reading: \ \ So every couple of weeks my ND screams and I end up reading like 5-10 books in one go for a week or more and this is one of them friends lol. So here is the list of books I am reading now (and LOVING), such a good year in general for books for me:\ \
- Love at first Lance (some exciting news about this author and Cozy Quill Imprint under bindery below)\ \
- The Hollow Places\ \
- Paladin's Strength\ \
- The House Witch (book club read)\ \
- Girl in the Creek\ \
- Predatory Nature\ \ \ So, stick around my cottagecore friends. Next week, we'll have some more fun news!](https://cozysabie.binderybooks.com/item/o9a6xw6aJyKHmIEDZqEa/)

Horror Fantasy: T.Kingfisher Books
What’s waiting for me in my cozy corner? Some horror fantasy🤎👻
I was super excited to receive this edition from @illumicrate @evernightbooks as @redwombatstudio is one of my favourite authors as I continue to read more of gothic fantasy books from them!
I’m honestly super excited for all three and had them in my TBR so I knew that when @evernightbooks announced them and the fact that it was still available in stock, I knew I had to get it!
This made me wish that there was a Gothic or Horror Fantasy Book Box but I am not sure there is enough demand for it! Maybe one day, it’ll become a popular sub-genre like Romantasy🥹🤎
