EP: Robin SchorrThe Hollows (CW), based on the bestselling book series The Hollows by Kim Harrison
Set in an urban fantasy world, Rachel Morgan, a PI witch, works with local law enforcement agencies to combat threats both mundane and supernatural.
EP/W: Jordan HawleyRegarding The Hollows, Harrison's publisher Harper Collins, who knows it's best to strike when the iron is hot, commented via email press release, "That's a tall order for a production company to bring 11 of the most beloved urban fantasy novels to life on the small screen. Fortunately, Harrison created a visually stunning, comprehensive world guide, The Hollows Insider [pictured above], which went on sale from Harper Voyager [this week]. The guide features the extensive case files of Devin Crossman, a blogger who sometimes reports for The Hollows Gazette. Devin has developed an unhealthy obsession with witch/demon Rachel Morgan and has set out to examine every aspect of her life, thus illuminating for fans every aspect of the world of The Hollows."
