Overview

Step into Burrington, a town where time twists, shadows linger, and Halloween never truly ends. In The Hollowed Hours: Five Mind-Bending Tales of Horror and Suspense from Burrington, five chilling short stories plunge you into a night unlike any other. October 31, 1826, when children vanish, restless spirits roam, and the dead reclaim the streets they once called home. From the cursed Blackwood House to haunted forests, from the wrath of an ancient Pagan goddess to a mother's desperate bargain with forces beyond this world, each tale exposes a fragment of Burrington's dark heart. Follow Meredith, Lavinia, and the children of the Hollowed Hours as the town itself pulses with secrets, hunger, and malevolence. Perfect for fans of gothic horror, supernatural suspense, and psychological thrillers, this collection immerses readers in a world where the line between life and death, and reality and nightmare, is razor-thin. Dare to walk Burrington's streets... if you survive, you'll never see Halloween the same way again.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
