A gloriously gruesome story of
headless corpses and small-town superstition, this chilling slice of period
horror is a devilishly clever twist on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow from the
author of Near the Bone.
Everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows
about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. Not even Ben Van Brunt's
grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the
upstart Crane out of town. Brom says that's just legend, the village gossips
talking. Twenty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place.
Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play "Sleepy Hollow boys," reenacting
the events Brom once lived through. But then Ben and a friend stumble across
the headless body of a child in the woods near the village, and the sinister
discovery makes Ben question everything the adults in Sleepy Hollow have ever
said. Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more
sinister stalk the woods?
