'The Hollow' is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1946 and in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in November of the same year. The US edition retailed at $2.50 and the UK edition at eight shillings and sixpence (8/6). A paperback edition in the US by Dell books in 1954 changed the title to 'Murder after Hours'.

The novel is a fine example of a "country house mystery" and was the first of her novels in four years to feature Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot-one of the longest gaps in the entire series. Christie, who often admitted that she did not like Poirot (a fact parodied by her recurring novelist character Ariadne Oliver), particularly disliked his appearance in this novel. His late arrival, jarring, given the established atmosphere, led her to claim in her Autobiography that she "ruined [the novel] by the introduction of Poirot".

Barton Hollow written by Joy Williams & John Paul White I'm a dead man walking here But that's the least of all my fears Ooh, underneath the water It's not Alabama clay That gives my trembling hands away Please forgive me father Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul Did that full moon force my hand? Or that un marked hundred grand? Ooh, underneath the water Please forgive me father Miles and miles in my bare feet Still can't lay me down to sleep If I die before I wake I know the Lord my soul won't take I'm a dead man walking I'm a dead man walking Keep walking and running and running for miles Keep walking and running and running for miles Keep walking and running and running for miles Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul John Paul White is outfitted courtesy of Billy Reid (suit, wingtip shoes, oxford shirt, bow tie).

The legendary Zanpaktou muramasa extracted him from Ichigo. No music, full fight, subtitled, and no extra stuff in between.

When walking down the spiralling staircase, the dialogue that appears is the same as the one in the flashback Mickey has before the 1000 Heartless brawl (Xehanort asking permission for his experiments, which Ansem denies him). Then the well-known lines from the trailer. In TWTNW: Vexen: Zexion! Zexion! Zexion: What's all the fuss about? Vexen: Where's Xemnas? Zexion: At the usual place. Vexen: The "Room of Sleep"? Zexion: If it's urgent, why don't you go and see? Vexen: Stop joking around! I will await his return. I must. This is what happens when we need him and he sleeps. Now, of all times... Xigbar: I'm not so good in that place either. How about you, mister Zexion? Zexion: What are you doing, eavesdropping like this? The mission assigned to you and Xaldin was to look for new members. You shouldn't be able to afford wasting time around here. Xigbar: I'm doing enough work, already! Found another one just yesterday. I think his new name is "Mar-" something or other. With this the Organization now has 11 members. That's quite a number. And so just for today I asked Lexaeus to cover for me so I could take a break... in anticipation of tomorrow's work, that is.
