The Hollow Vale (Ebook)

Britain's first "Safe Town" has 912 cameras, smart lampposts on every street and an AI called WARDEN that has never once been wrong. Crime is down ninety-four per cent. Nobody asks how. Kerry Walsh works nights in the control room, watching a fog-filled Yorkshire mill town not commit crimes. Then, at 3:47 one morning, a hooded figure appears on all 912 screens at once, standing in the fog, facing the camera. WARDEN says nothing is there. The next night, the figure is one step closer. The local kids call it the Hollow Man. They say if you see him three nights running, they come and take you away. Kerry's best friend was taken three months ago. And now the Hollow Man is standing outside Kerry's house. THE HOLLOW VALE is a tense, chilling tech-horror novella about surveillance, prediction and the people a "perfect" system decides it can do without.
