About the book

Winterset Hollow follows Eamon and his two closest friends, Caroline and Mark, as they travel to Addington Isle to visit the setting that inspired their favorite childhood book. They hope to explore the island that sparked the timeless fable about a group of animals preparing for an end-of-summer festival. But after breaking into the author's seemingly abandoned estate, the trio discovers the story is real and far darker than they ever imagined. To survive the trip, they must navigate a deadly reality where making it to the final chapter could cost them everything. This edition also includes the complete version of the fictional book within the story, Winterset Hollow, as written by the fictional author Edward Addington.
