I have spent less time in the arid zone in the last few years than I did during the 1960''s, 1970''s and early 1980''s. This results from a progression through age and a career structure which gradually shifted the emphasis of my work from being essentially field-oriented to essentially office-hound. When, therefore, I was asked by John Cloudsley-Thompson to undertake the writing of this hook I hesitated for two reasons. One reason was that, although I now had access to good library facilities and kept up with the literature on the arid zones and their fauna, I was not sure that a sedentary and pleasant life in a temperate highland island in tropieal Africa would provide a mental attitude suitable to writing a hook which related to areas where life is usually nomadie and often extremely disagreeable. The other reason was that I was uncertain whether I could devote the time necessary to researehing and writing the hook on top of my professional (which now specifical ly excluded research in the arid zones and on camels) and social (new-found and time-consuming) commitments. In the event I accepted and the fates were kind to me. By some peculiar combination of circumstances I was given the opportunity to spend a considerable part of the first half of 1988 in some of the driest areas of the globe. I had already visited all of the locations used for the construction of Fig. 2.

''Death is a lot of damned work,'' thinks 18 year old ghost, Charlotte Williams, as she braves the unsettled world of the In-Between. It''s here the rebellious teen finds the clues she so desperately needs in her battle against diabolic, secret society, The Hollow (who took her life, and just happen to be trying to end the world!).

Upon her return to the ''Bone Yard'' (aka Crystal Springs Cemetery), Charlotte meets up with 20-something supernatural bestie, Poe, an acerbic goth who works with her to decipher the latest clues. Fellow ghost, Poe is something of a big sister to Charlotte; strong, hilarious - and always full of secrets. Though Charlotte''s already been dead several years, Poe, on the other hand, may be as old as time! As past victims of The Hollow, both are now intensely dedicated to stop the evil sect, who chillingly view human existence as a ''failed experiment''.

After several fraught run-ins with ''the Devil''s janitors'' (as Poe calls them), Charlotte is devastated when The Hollow kidnap her young son, Luke, in retaliation. Charlotte then suffers with the guilt of screwing up his young life ''even in death'', before forming a plan with Poe to get him back - and make The Hollow pay.

Ultimately, Charlotte and Poe are forced to cosmically separate in their search for Luke. However, in doing so, they''re both severely tested and must grapple with their limitations - and their own dark pasts. Along the way, we meet a string of colorful characters both in ''Hollow Land'' and the All-American (or is it?) Crystal Springs - and maybe even save the world.
