"Brilliantly wrought... Wonderful... Catling''s expertise, imagination and linguistic flair are well matched by his wit and enthusiasm. Hollow is never less than tremendous fun... Catling is a great and wild talent... a raucous novel that thrills and unsettles in equal measure." - TLS
"Prose that''s sprinkled with neologisms and archaisms, and as crunchy and bitter-cold as snow... it''s a nigh unclassifiable work, and all the better for that." - Financial Times
"As with all the best fiction, there is a terrifying inevitability about Hollow ... Let it devour you."
Iain Sinclair, author of Ghost Milk
"Unsettling and delightful... very clever fun...a sheer, shuddering delight... both frightening and hilarious. Catling is a rare kind of writer.''"
Scotland on Sunday
