Dreamy Hollow: A Long Island Romance

After building Dreamy Hollow as a monument to his dead love, retired businessman Drury Villard expects peace. What he finds instead is a house that won't let him forget. Winifred's presence lingers in ways he cannot explain, shadows and whispers, the unbearable weight of memory made architecturally manifest. When his former vice-president William Parkins arrives with calculating eyes and hidden ambitions, Villard faces a dual threat: the supernatural pull of the past and the very real danger of a man who wants what Dreamy Hollow represents. Britton constructs an eerie meditation on grief and longing, where Long Island's grand estates become prisons. It's a novel about what we build to honor the dead, and how those structures can imprison the living.
