It depends on your preferences. I tend not to read a lot of Horror because it as a genre is something I don’t vibe with, but I have read a few because the writing or storytelling were solid. Hollow Places was like that for me.
If you tend to vibe more with Fantasy, give Paladin’s Grace a try. (Unless a romance aspect will turn you off). Alternatively, A Wizards Guide to Baking is enjoyable and shorter.
I like horror but definitely prefer fantasy. I'll have to give her another shot but I was really disappointed with Hollow Places.
I’m desperately curious why you didn’t like the Hollow Places.
I kinda just found it rather vapid overall. It was strange for the sake of being strange. It didn't have enough good aspects to make up for the parts I didn't like overall. I ended up giving it a 1.25/5. I think overall that "cosmic horror" might just not be for me.
