After the Hole (also known as The Hole) is a 1993 psychological horror novel by English author Guy Burt. The book tells the story of a group of private school students who find themselves trapped in the school's abandoned cellar, seemingly locked in by their deranged classmate. The book received mixed reviews, but won a Betty Trask Award in 1994.^[1] The book was loosely adapted into a 2001 film directed by Nick Hamm, with a few changes such as "The Hole" being an abandoned underground bunker, while it was a cellar in the book.
