Enemies

The Hollow #4

by Christopher Golden, Ford Lytle Gilmore

The supernatural problems in Sleepy Hollow are getting worse instead of better and the strange things that have been happening all seem to be pointing to one thing — an even bigger evil is brewing, something very dangerous, and big enough to take out the entire town.

What seems to be a gang of kids in costumes causes grief on Halloween night, but that’s nothing compared to what arrives just in time to stop them. There are rumors of a giant lumbering around the Old Dutchman Cemetery, and as proof of the possibility, there’s a lot of vandalism going on among the headstones and tombs. To make matters worse, a string of deaths occurs in Sleepy Hollow in which the victims seem to have literally been scared to death.

When internal strife amongst Aimee and Shane’s friends breaks the group apart, Aimee finds herself betrayed by two people she trusted. But in order to save herself, her friends and the whole town, she’ll have to put aside her hurt feelings and — worse — she’ll have to bargain with the demon that is literally trying to cut her head off: the Headless Horseman. It may well be that the sword-wielding monstrosity is the only hope Aimee and Shane have against a horde of monsters led by a nightmare that is growing not only in size but in power.

It’s harvest time in Sleepy Hollow and this year the reaping will be bloody and grim.
