Legend of the Headless Horseman

Eight stories. One legend reborn. A new haunting tale each week.
Step into the shadows of Sleepy Hollow—
where the whispers never died,
and the Horseman still rides.

Inspired by Washington Irving’s timeless tale, this shared-theme series reimagines The Legend of Sleepy Hollow across eight eerie, emotionally layered stories. From chilling encounters to quiet reckonings, each installment explores what lingers in the dark—whether it’s a curse, a legacy… or the memory of love.

Each author brings a unique voice to this haunted world—some tales steeped in romance, others in mystery, magic, or fate.
Every story stands alone, but all are bound by the fog-shrouded legend that started it all.

Into A Cursed Hollow
Anna Hawke

It was a ridiculous fairytale.
The Legend of the Headless Rider has been around for centuries, haunting the small town of Sleepy Hollow. Physical proof of the phantom has been in short supply—until a beheading proves that it is very much a living legend.

Mariana, a vampire Ambassador with the World Immortal Federation, is sent to investigate the murder. Determined to prove it’s a copycat, she sinks her metaphorical fangs into the unwitting population. What she discovers is that the legend is far from a fable—and exposing the one behind it could put her at the wrong end of a cavalry sabre.

Author’s Note
Into A Cursed Hollow is a dark urban fantasy retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. While the romance sizzles, it is closed door/fade to black. This novella can be read standalone.

Shattered Hollow
Ramsey Savage

In the shadowy depths of Sleepy Hollow, where whispers of old magic still stirred the leaves, the Van Tassel family bore a centuries old curse. The witches of this line, powerful and proud, were doomed to watch love slip through their fingers, stolen by fate or betrayal. None had ever broken the curse. Until Seraphina.

She spent years attempting to unravel the threads that held her bloodline together, until, at last, she stumbled upon the one thing that would stop the loneliness that plagued every female member of her family.

This would work. It had to. For if it didn’t, something far more dangerous would begin to weave its way into the Hollow. Seraphina mustered all of her strength and knowledge and set out to do what needed to be done.
Break the curse. Or die trying.

Watcher in the Hollow
T.S. Devon & Harper Lynn

Sleepy Hollow wasn’t on my bucket list, but here I am, chasing whispers, dodging curfews, and trying not to trip over secrets buried deeper than the town’s foundations.

My name’s Karina Booth. I’m a Sovereign Assassin. That means I run toward the things that make sane people sprint in the opposite direction. When something goes bump in the night, I’m the one sent to bump back harder. Monsters, conspiracies, the occasional immortal horror? That’s my weekend beach getaway.

Except Sleepy Hollow doesn’t play by the usual rules. Its smiles are too polished, its silences too practiced, and its history… let’s just say the history books skipped a few footnotes. The dangerous kind.

Then there’s Ian Crane. The historian with the interesting lineage, a knack for timing, questions that cut too close, and a way of looking at me that feels more dangerous than any blade.
Now every step into the Hollow pulls me closer to something I can’t ignore. Sleepy Hollow thinks it can keep its secrets. Too bad I came here to dig.

Blurb coming soon…

Curse of the Hollow
Crystal Frost

Two families cursed—one to lose their minds, the other to lose their heads.

When Anna Crane is summoned back to Hollowridge after her mother’s death, she isn’t prepared for the town’s shadows to still whisper her name—or for Barry Van Brunt, her childhood friend, to have become a man burdened by his family’s curse.

Each attack from the Horseman drags Barry closer to the fate he’s spent his life preparing for, while Anna’s dreams blur into reality, forcing her to confront the darkness binding their bloodlines.

Together, they must face the truth of their twisted heritage and risk everything to break the curse—
before Hollowridge takes them both.


***
Author’s Note:
Curse of the Hollow is a closed-door Gothic Romantasy reimagining of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It is a story of defiance, devotion, and the fragile hope that love might outlast even the darkest of legacies. May Anna and Barry’s journey remind you that courage does not always roar—it sometimes stands trembling at the gate, and still chooses to step forward.
Keep your lantern lit, brave heart,
Crystal Frost

Phantom of the Hollow
Sophea Chan

I came to Sleepy Hollow to chase facts—not legends.
But the deeper I walk into these cursed woods, the more the line between truth and nightmare blurs. I’m sent to investigate a string of brutal, headless murders, yet it’s the dreams—the ones filled with smoke, blood, and a sorrow older than the trees—that haunt me most.

Then I find him.

Bastian. A monster made of ash and bone, crowned in ruin and bound to the Hollow by a betrayal centuries old. He’s everything I was told to fear—and everything I never knew I needed.

Our bond awakens something dark and hungry beneath the roots. The Headless One stirs, and the woods themselves hold their breath.

Now I have a choice. Protect the world that fears me, or embrace the monster who sees my soul.

Because here, in Sleepy Hollow, love isn’t salvation.

Love is the curse.

Whispers in the Hollow
Tasha Creed

He made a deal with Death to see her one last time. He didn’t expect to save her or for her to save him in return.

Nikolai has ridden for centuries, cursed to serve Death as a headless rider after breaking his original vow. But with the rare blood moon rising, his final chance at freedom has come, but only if he can find the woman who once made him believe in love over fate.

Isolde lives quietly in the mist-shrouded village of Duskmere, healing the sick with herbs and hiding the truth of her haunted past. When a journal of her mother’s is discovered by some of the villagers, fear and superstition take root, and what rumors were being spread are now truths they believe.

As fate tightens its grip, Nikolai defies the veil between worlds to reach her, but escaping Death’s grasp comes with a price. Time is running out, and the blood moon waits for no one.

A dark gothic romantasy of soul-deep love, ancient bargains, and fate-defying sacrifice, with closed-door romance.
