The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving #audiobook
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving is the classic Halloween story. It appears to be a ghost story, but is it?
It was published in 1819 and has some classic features of later horror stories and contemporary Gothic tropes.
In summary, a hapless, awkward, greedy, and self-opinionated schoolmaster fancies he has a chance with the coquettish 18-year-old daughter of a local landowner. He wants to marry her as much for the monetary rewards and food as for her own charms.
But this Ichabod Crane had to contend with a headless horseman in this earliest of spooky tales.
It's a book in itself, albeit a short one, and the tale is very well written by author Washington Irving, who injects wry humor and who clearly was a great observer of human character and failings.
It was made into a scary movie by Tim Burton
