Hollow Blood! Book One of the debut Sleepy Hollow Horrors by Austin Dragon
Ichabod Crane is dead! Everyone knows it. The Horseman took him—like so many others—one dark night in 1790. All that remained of the town's amiable schoolmaster was his hat on the side of the road, with a shattered pumpkin beside it. But soon the fearful townspeople of Sleepy Hollow realized that the terrifying Horseman, that haunted their region for ages, had also disappeared, inexplicably, after that night. They were free!
That was 10 years ago. And a lone stranger has come to their quiet town.
He is friendly enough, well-mannered, educated, but there is a secret about this man—he is not what he seems. Suspicions grow. The whispers of gossip begin. All of Sleepy Hollow is soon turned upside-down when they learn the truth.
It is only the beginning, as they find themselves in the path of his black vengeance, his hunt for the foul murderer of Ichabod Crane. This stranger threatens not only their lives by his presence, but their very souls by bringing about the return of the hellish Headless Horseman!
For Sleepy Hollow, will death be upon them all?
Hollow Blood and The Devil’s Patch are both books of the two-part Sleepy Hollow Horrors.

"This is the story of what happened to Ichabod Crane and how Julian Crane becomes to believe in evil and the supernatural. This is a gripping and dark tale that will creep you out at just the right moments and have you questioning what you know and don’t know. A great new twist on the legend of sleepy hollow."
"A very compelling take on an age old tale – the ending was perfect and I really hope that there will be more soon."
"It is impossible not to get wrapped up in this unbelievable and remarkable horror. He has included in his horror story a touch of mystery also."

The Devil's Patch Book Two of the Sleepy Hollow Horrors
This is not the fake, Hollywood-style Sleepy Hollow American television series. This is the true, terrifying story.
The Devil’s Patch! Book Two (and conclusion) of the debut Sleepy Hollow Horrors by Austin Dragon.
Ten years ago Ichabod Crane disappeared! The Horseman took him—like so many others—one dark night in 1790. All that remained of the town's amiable schoolmaster was his hat on the side of the road, with a shattered pumpkin beside it. But soon the fearful townspeople of Sleepy Hollow realized that the terrifying Horseman, that haunted their region for ages, had also disappeared, inexplicably, after that night. They were free!
Then a lone Julian Crane—Ichabod’s nephew—arrived in Sleepy Hollow.
He was friendly enough, well-mannered, charming, but he hid his true intentions—his personal hunt for the foul murderer of his dear uncle—and he single-handedly turned Sleepy Hollow upside-down in his quest of vengeance.
Now he knows the truth of who killed his uncle—and the many, many other victims—and that murderer is not a man of flesh and blood. But can he and his Super Posse stop this evil thing? They are no longer in Sleepy Hollow. They have tracked it to its accursed domain—The Devil’s Patch.
Will Julian, or any of them, survive the wrath of the Headless Horseman?

MY HONEST REVIEW OF Hollow Blood
Julian Crane knows
in his heart that the murderer of his uncle Ichabod ten years ago was not the
infamous headless horseman. Not believing in the supernatural, he rides into
Sleepy Hollow, in search of the man he suspects is the killer. What he
eventually discovers though, takes him on a journey from which he may not
return.
I’ve never
thought of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow as a western. However, that’s exactly
how this story read. Shootout, Indians on the warpath, law of the west, yes, it’s
all that. But, it was equally an interesting detective story. With an awesome
plot, and endearing character, it couldn’t help but be engrossing. I didn’t
want to stop until the end, and I’m glad the story will continue. Yea, it was
that good. Even though the headless horseman was not in the foreground of this
story, it still stayed true to the original legend.
