Hollow Creek Hymns

​"Every twenty years, the silence doesn't just fall. It hunts."

​Elias Thorne is a man who lives for noise. As a true-crime podcaster, his life is measured in decibels and digital wave-forms. But when his sister Sarah sends him a final, frantic recording from their childhood home in Hollow Creek, Elias is forced back to a place that shouldn't exist on any map.

​He arrives at noon on the first day of The Silence. For seventy-two hours, no one in Hollow Creek speaks. No one moves. No one dares to breathe too loud. They aren't just following a tradition; they are hiding from the "Vocalist"-a creature that feeds on the echoes of the living.

​Armed only with his audio recorder and a heavy dose of guilt, Elias must navigate a town of masked neighbors and red-chalk boundaries. But as the clock ticks toward the final hour, he realizes his sister wasn't taken by a monster. She is being forced to sing for one.

​Don't listen. Don't speak. And whatever you do... don't look out the window.
