À propos de cet audio

In this atmospheric, terrifying novel that draws strongly from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", the author of Alice and The Girl in Red works her trademark magic, spinning an engaging and frightening new story from a classic tale.

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.

More than 30 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 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?

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Fans of gothic horror will be eager to follow Ben into the woods.” (Booklist)

"With visceral visions of nightmares, creepy prose and a pace as fast as the rush of horses’ hooves, Henry’s take on Irving’s classic story is a one-sitting read, a chilling romp into the forest that will remind readers that sometimes the scariest monster in the room is human nature." (BookPage)

Les plus pertinents
The first 3/4 of the book are fantastic, the last part was just ok. I am not a fan of large time skips in order to wrap things up. Also suffers from too many bad guys, (I never thought I would complain about that) and because of that it gets a bit muddled and confused.

a pretty ok story
