This edition of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow includes an introduction and afterword by Charles L Grant.

Sleepy Hollow is a strange little place... some say enchanted. Some speak of its haunted valleys and streams, the ghostly woman in white, the eerie midnight screams and howls, but most of all they speak of the Headless Horseman. A huge, shadowy soldier who rides headless through the night, terrorising hapless travellers.

Schoolteacher Ichabod Crane is fascinated by these stories... Until one night, as he walks home through Wiley's Swamp, he realises that maybe they're not just stories.

What is that dark, menacing figure riding behind him on a horse? And what is it holding in its hands?

And why has schoolteacher Crane never been seen again in Sleepy Hollow?

Quotes

    To see him striding along the profile of a hill on a windy day, with his clothes bagging and fluttering about him, one might have mistaken him for the genius of famine descending upon the earth, or some scarecrow eloped from a cornfield.
  • Yves Belacquahas quoted5 months ago
    The revenue arising from his school was small, and would have been scarcely sufficient to furnish him with daily bread, for he was a huge feeder, and, though lank, had the dilating powers of an anaconda
  • Sigynhas quoted9 months ago
    he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was—a woman.
