Greg Howard Book order

Greg Howard draws inspiration from the atmospheric South Carolina coast, his childhood home, which he fondly calls the "armpit of the American South." His imaginative works are fueled by the gothic history of his hometown, Georgetown, known as the "Ghost Capital of the South." Escaping a strict religious upbringing through the arts, Howard found solace and inspiration in music and storytelling, elements that imbue his literary style. While he developed a career in the music industry after moving to Nashville, his heart remains tethered to the South, a place he revisits annually and dreams of returning to as a full-time writer.

A lonely twelve-year-old boy spends his days “stuck” at the deserted Hollow Pines Plantation in Georgetown, South Carolina with no recollection of his name, how long he’s been there, and no idea how to leave. Things never change much for the lost souls at Hollow Pines and time is strange when you’re dead. But when visitors from the living world arrive for the first time in a long while, the boy feels a spark of hope. These visitors are around his age, and they seem to understand more than others that the plantation is not just spooky or eerie, it’s a sad place where the unspeakable happened again and again. And if these kids could understand the truth about Hollow Pines, maybe they could help him uncover the dark secrets of his past and help him find a way to finally move on. But Hollow Pines doesn’t like visitors. And with a malevolent spirit lurking in the shadows and painful memories buried deep, and for good reason, the boy wonders if he’ll ever find his way home or be stuck at Hollow Pines forever.
