A New York Times Bestseller! An Instant Indie Bestseller! A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night. Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous. But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time--something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home.

Dark young adult fantasy and contemporary fiction blending eerie folklore, psychological tension, and emotional depth have gained a widespread international readership. Krystal Sutherland reached a broad audience with her debut novel Our Chemical Hearts and achieved The New York Times bestseller status with the dark fairytale House of Hollow.
Her fiction has been published in more than twenty countries and nominated for major honors including the Carnegie Medal and the YA Book Prize, establishing her work across screen and print media.
Born in 1990 in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, Sutherland grew up directly across the road from her local public library, where she developed an early passion for storytelling. After being shortlisted for the Queensland Young Writers Award, she pursued higher education in Sydney, where she edited her university's student magazine. Her career subsequently spanned multiple continents and roles, including working as a foreign correspondent in Amsterdam, interning at Bloomsbury Publishing, and residing in San Francisco and Hong Kong before relocating to London. Her 2016 debut novel, Our Chemical Hearts, was adapted into the 2020 Amazon Studios feature film Chemical Hearts, starring Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams, with Sutherland serving as executive producer. Her second novel, A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares, was optioned for television by Yellow Bird US, and she has also co-authored the Time Lions series with Martin Seneviratne.
Sutherland's writing spans realistic contemporary young adult fiction, dark urban fantasy, and speculative mystery. Her works frequently examine emotional vulnerability, grief, sisterhood, and personal phobias through atmospheric narrative techniques. In early projects like A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares, she explores debilitating fears within romantic and coming-of-age contexts. Her transition into darker supernatural storytelling in House of Hollow and The Invocations incorporates elements of dark folklore, body horror, ghost doors, and occult mystery, maintaining a central focus on complex relationships between young women.
