October is upon us, and like you I am always on the lookout for something spooky to read during this month. And what better book, than one that is based on the Sleepy Hollow legend. Plus that cover is just so creepy!
Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow by Christina Henry
Publication Date: September 28, 2021
Summary from Goodreads:
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?
What creepy books do you have lined up to read this month? Let me know in the comments.

I still have yet to read a Christina Henry book though I have a few on my TBR. This one looks/sounds spectacularly spooky!
