Twenty years ago in Blue Ash the doorway to hell was nearly opened. One father's love for his little girl was able to stop it from happening. Now, two decades later, the same forces of evil have the doorway poised to open again. All that can stop them is that same girl now a grown woman and all alone, and this time love and hope have abandoned her.
Satan's Hollow may have started as a fitting tribute to Lovecraft and his horrifying themes of family guilt and forbidden knowledge, but it quickly became something more under the demented hands of Brusha, Otero, Gamboa and Ruiz. A supposedly innocent excursion back to her hometown for Sandra and her husband John quickly became something reminiscent of a Hitchcock thriller, but while it may have lacked the suspense, it wholeheartedly made up for it with outright thrills and chills. While this might be something for those who don't like horror movies, the moving narration and beautifully eerie imagery combined with the skillful use of somber overtones sets the mood for what will become a Zenescope classic. Just remember: DO NOT read this in dark room while a thunderstorm is raging outside, unless you want to be scared to death by morning! Read Full Review
As a whole, this series provided great entertainment and fun. As far as conclusions are concerned with horror offerings, pulling off a terrifying end isn't easy. Just look at all the terrible endings Stephen King tacked on to brilliantly told stories. Satan's Hollow succeeds on the whole way better than what this last part would suggest. Read Full Review
