A fun creepy story that had charm to it. I loved the characters. T Kingfisher is becoming one of my favourite authors. The performance of the narrator was also excellent

I think I prefer her romance novels. The writing style is fun, conversational and approachable, but stretches a little thin sometimes. Sometimes a humorous aside is just distracting from the stuff that's really interesting.

'The Hollow Places' was a fun, slightly shallow, but very creepy and well written book. It wasn't Shirley Jackson's levels of writing but it was fun, gave me a creepy experience, and sometimes that's all you need. And it was heartwarming! Wow, I'm glad the author included that because it was a nice finishing touch on the story.
I do love the gay character and the friendship between him and the MC.
There were some aggravating / annoying things. Specifically:
Antisemitism content warning: "And theyโre right there reading it, so theyโre practically accomplices, unless theyโre one of those people who decide to leave comments telling you that shipping those two characters makes you worse than Hitler. "
This is not ok to put in a genuine novel. Save that shit for your goofy lil fandom spaces and fanfic writer notes. Or actually, do't. These type of jokes are just evil.
Honestly I hated that the author included stupid hit about fanfic at all. God I hope that's not going to become common in the future.
