Sinossi

A headless rider. A frightened schoolmaster. A tale that haunts to this day.
Step into the misty woods of Sleepy Hollow, where legends live and shadows ride.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is Washington Irving's most famous and chilling tale—a gothic masterpiece of early American fiction that blends folklore, fear, and dark humor. Set in a quiet Dutch settlement in New York's Hudson Valley, the story follows Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher whose life takes a terrifying turn after an encounter with the infamous Headless Horseman.

First published in 1820, this short story has become a Halloween staple and a pillar of American literature. Rich in atmosphere and psychological tension, Irving's tale explores the thin line between myth and reality, reason and imagination.

"The first great American ghost story—and still one of the best." — The New York Times
"A timeless classic of fear, folklore, and frontier superstition." — The Guardian
"Irving's writing is elegant, eerie, and unforgettable." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for lovers of gothic fiction, American folklore, or eerie autumn nights, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow remains one of the most beloved and spine-tingling stories ever told.

    In his second collection of stories, author and filmmaker R.W. Gray (Crisp) once again finds the place where the beautiful, the strange, and the surreal all meet—sometimes meshing harmoniously, sometimes colliding with terrible violence, launching his characters into a redefined reality. A lovestruck man discovers the secret editing room where his girlfriend erases all her flaws; a massage artist finds that she can alleviate her clients’ pain in more ways than one; a beautiful man invites those who want him to do whatever they wish with his unconscious body; and a gay couple meets what appear to be the younger versions of themselves, and learns that history can indeed repeat itself.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
