A Book Review for The Hollow: Horseman and Drowned by Christopher Golden and Ford Lytle Gilmore

The books Horseman and Drowned by Christopher Golden and Ford Lytle Gilmore are part of The Hollow series. These books are a new twist on an old classic. This series is a new telling of the Sleepy Hollow legend created by Washington Irving. An explosive beginning sets the mood for the story. The characters are new and interesting additions, while some characters sound awfully familiar. Enemies from the past and new denizens of evil make an appearance. This series is definitely worth reading. I give this book 5 decapitated horsemen out of 5.
