The Hollow Space

On her 35th birthday, librarian Tess Davis finds a journal hidden inside a book that should not exist in her library's collection.

The journal belongs to her grandmother. The grandmother she never met. The one no one will talk about.

What Tess reads inside changes everything — a generational curse, passed down through women in her family, that demands a reckoning. One lunar month. That's all she has. Burn down the secrets that have been building since before she was born, or lose the life she's spent years constructing piece by careful piece.

The Hollow Space is a horror short story set in the In the Cards universe — and the beginning of something much larger.
