Hallowed Be Thy Name

by Ash Redd

“The only name on your lips when death comes for you will be mine.”

When Isadora Crane is accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake, her lover Christine Van Tassel is destroyed by grief. Using a powerful ritual, she brings Isadora back, but she's summoned more than just her lover from beyond the grave.

Another force is eager to spill the blood of Sleepy Hollow's men and help Christine and Isadora exact revenge on every council member who've scorned them. The Headless Horseman will ride until the streets of Sleepy Hollow run red!

Hallowed Be Thy Name is a short sapphic gothic reimagining of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It was originally written for The Tales of the Scorned Anthology, benefitting charities for reproductive rights in the US. It contains mature themes, dark elements, and graphic violence.

I love a historical piece and folklore. Add a dash of spice…. And my heart is pounding. This headless horseman retelling had my heart racing.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
