the beginning, for an incredible 2025!

hey souls,
it's a bit I don't write you.
I hope to find you well!
Last time was in November.
And I'm so glad to start this year with our new releases, you know, thanks to your support Hollow Press is growing very fast, every year, that's wonderful, but also a duty for us to never disappoint your expectations about the quality and the usual experimentations with our productions.
We usually work on long schedule by 2-3 years on. But the start of a new year is always tricky, when we work on a final schedule and first publications.

I can tell you that this year we have 20-24 publications. We love to have this limit and don't go over this amount to be sure that the quality is always at the top!
And here you can see our first four releases!

- Sounds of the World Vermis vol.1 by Plastiboo and Radagast
BUY IT HERE!
BUY ALL OTHER VERMIS BOOKS HERE!

"Darkness...
Coldness...
Emptiness...
Silence... dissolves....

A whisper... a murmur that grows louder... sounds of the world... songs chanted by the wind, the mountains, the living, and the dead.

Even in this afflicted world, the harmonic echoes of tales and memories long forgotten can still be heard by those who know how to listen."

Finally we have an official soundtrack for the cult Vermis! This is from the partnership between Plastiboo and musician Radagast.
HERE is bandcamp!
It is a bookbox, a book by 16 pages including new illustrations and new lore texts about Vermis world, a book attached on a box including a music cassette in a paper envelope by 9 tracks!
Of course this is how the artist think should be represented a Vermis soundtrack at its best and add important and interesting lore elements to the Vermis world, like the Greengrave, the Goblin princess etc
And this is only the first of many!
Be sure to grab asap your copy, this is limited to only 3000 copies!
Also, the cassette is produced in collaboration with the mighty HDK records, we really suggest to follow and support them, they put out very cool dungeon synths!

- POZZO the partygame
BUY IT HERE!
(don't forget the select your option, regular and limited editions available)

Here instead we have our first Party Game, POZZO.
It is from the same team of Cyberflesh: Simone Alberto Grifone as game designer, David Genchi as illustrator and Marco taddei as writer.
Pozzo is a very weird game, inspired by a vintage italian folkloristic card game, but obviously in an Hollow key.
It is very simple and fast, you can play in 10 people and in about 30 minutes.
The goal is to see who will have the honor to be "Sunk".
I like to define it a sacrifical-horror partygame!
Pozzo is a horror card game where players struggle against each other, all yearning for sacrifice.
It is available in a regular edition, limited with an LP by Selvans and a glowing in the dark holy card!
The cards are 40 and top quality, since are printed and produced by Dal Negro, the most important producer of cards here in Italy!
We are offering the game for only 24€, it's a crazy low price if we consider it's entirely produced in Italy, we have a very low margin, but we really want that as many people possible can give a try to it!

- Parasite Moon Orchestra by Ghaaro
BUY IT HERE!

I'm in love with this book. Ghaaro is incredible. He probably doesn't feel the need to tell a linear story. This book is a pure act of love, made of decadent poetics, and pure feelings.
Something you read and ask to yourself "what the fuck I have read!?" and you don't know why but you literally love it!
He's style is incredible, is of course unique but looks like a mix between Tsutomu Nhiei and Suehiro Maruo.
It's one of the most japanese things I have seen made by an european artist. A very young artist.
It is printed in a pocket format, 136 pages, on munken paper and dustjacket to give a wonderful manga feeling. For sale for 15€!

- Sander's Second Life book 1 by Stepan Razorenov
BUY IY HERE!

And we have Sander's epic novel. The author, Stepan, is only 22 years old. Yeah it's absolutely incredible but it's the truth. This of course is an exception. We receive hundreds of submissions every year, but of course we are always full of publications in schedule and some time we refuse very interesting projects. But when I came to this work I felt in duty to publish it!
An epic comic with a cinematic rhythm, like in the best movie series, in a medieval novel in Bosch style. All characters are magnificently detailed and will be unforgettable to you!
The book is huge, 336 pages! All in full color and with a special COPPER cover paper with hot foil print.
All this for only 20€, I know it's crazy low but you know, we really want hollow fans are able to buy as many publications possible to follow us, that's why we always try to keep retails low. It will be a series of 3 books, one per year, second one in March 2026.



*Considering the amount of products of this launch we guess we will need to ship thousands of orders, so please be patient, all orders will be shipped as soon as possible, but for sure by 19th April as specified on our web page head banner too.
