Sleepy Hollow and queer romance meet in this coming-of-age tale from the co-creator of Lumberjanes!Isabel "Izzy" Crane and her family have just relocated to Sleepy Hollow, the town made famous by--and obsessed with--Washington Irving's legend of the Headless Horseman. But city slicker-skeptic Izzy has no time for superstition as she navigates life at a new address, a new school, and, with any luck, with new friends. Ghost stories aren't real, after all.... Then Izzy is pulled into the orbit of the town's teen royalty, Vicky Van Tassel (yes, that Van Tassel) and loveable varsity-level prankster Croc Byun. Vicky's weariness with her family connection to the legend turns to terror when the trio begins to be haunted by the Horseman himself, uncovering a curse set on destroying the Van Tassel line. Now, they have only until Halloween night to break it--meaning it's a totally inconvenient time for Izzy to develop a massive crush on the enigmatic Vicky. Can Izzy's practical nature help her face the unknown--or only trip her up? As the calendar runs down to the 31st, Izzy will have to use all of her wits and work with her new friends to save Vicky and uncover the mystery of the legendary Horseman of Sleepy Hollow--before it's too late. New York Times-bestselling writer Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes) and debut author Branden Boyer-White are joined by artist Berenice Nelle (Wanderlicht) in a coming of age tale that's at once a faithful homage and a free-wheeling spin-off of the classic Legend of Sleepy Hollow and everyone's favorite headless specter.

"Hollow is a cute throwback to the old Autumn story we know and love. The characters are fun, loveable, and adventurous enough to be an exciting release for teens this October.<br/><br/>While I might have preferred a retelling, this was fairly close, but I really did love this concept of Sleepy Hollow 200 years later in the current day. <br/><br/>The vibes were perfect, just enough Fall and Halloween and Headless Horseman to keep me entertained. This was a quick read, one that readers might like to revisit each time the season rolls around. All in all, cute, inclusive, and happy, Hollow is sure to be a great addition to your cozy Halloween collection."

"Wow...what did I just read? I won't lie. I'm not very familiar with the story of the "headless horseman." When I found this book I was absolutely intrigued. I had to read it. It may have been on the shorter side but I felt like I got the entire story within those pages. This story sucked me right in. This read was actually more of a content read than a cover read. Just by looking at the cover you would never be able to guess that there's some steam in it. I mean there's not a lot, but there's enough. And the ending? Completely leaves you wanting more. I cannot wait to pick up and read the next story in this duet."
