![]() ![]() This is the generally accepted story, but it becomes clear something suspicious is afoot when a child’s body, missing head and hands, is discovered in the woods. ![]() Ben’s parents died when Ben was just a babe, supposedly of a fever. Horseman takes place two decades after the events of the original Headless Horseman tale and stars Ben van Brunt, grandchild of Brom and Katrina. It was ultra creepy, not at all what I expected, and a really refreshing take on the tale. I’ve had decent luck with Christina Henry’s other titles, so I was really quite excited to see that she was writing a Sleepy Hollow retelling. Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more sinister stalk the woods? ![]() 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. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play Sleepy Hollow boys, reenacting the events Brom once lived through. Twenty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Brom says that’s just legend, the village gossips talking. 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. My Rating: 3.5/5.0 A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.Įveryone in Sleepy Hollow knows about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. ![]()
