Sleepless Hollow
Josie Penninger can see ghosts, and it's been nothing but trouble for her. She learned not to talk about it in her teens, but that didn't make the trouble go away.
Now that she's out of college and short on cash, she decides to embrace her abilities and work with local ghosts to solve old mysteries. And since she lives in Sleepy Hollow, New York, there's plenty of work to keep her busy.
But then, on Halloween night, an old ghost comes to town with vengeance in his heart and a two hundred year-old score to settle. Using highly advanced spectral technology, he traps ten thousand people inside the town borders and uses them to power a machine that will let him alter history. Even if he fails, his machines might kill everyone Josie knows.
Now she has to team up with a spirit who knows far more about her than he lets on, and a freelancing ghost hunter who shoots first and doesn't bother asking questions at all. The three of them should be able to take down one simple villainous ghost, right?
Unless he has the deadliest warrior-ghost of the region in his corner...
Packed with action, wit, humor, and good old-fashioned fun, SLEEPLESS HOLLOW is an illustrated adventure that ties in fully with Washington Irving's classic American horror story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Not A Hollow Read
I'm a fan of supernatural stories and this one did not disappoint. From the premise to execution Bradley's story telling game is on point. Through all of this adventure surrounding the Sleepy Hollow Legend I never felt lost, which can so often happen with fantasy and sci-fi writing.
The character development was good too. Josie, the unwitting protagonist, came off smart and brave, but I kind of love tough girl Kay, even if she is a smoker. Sleepy Hollow's guardian, Silas, was probably a really good guy when he was alive. And the famous Ichabod Crane was petty, creepy, and brilliant. As he should be!
A good read, a fun read, or whatever you want to call it, definitely worth your time and money.

You know how some books are just so good you can't put them down? This isn't one of those books. This is a story so good you have to put it down and relish in what you read. It's enjoyable to have a story so familiar as the backbone for a new and original story that had fully fleshed out characters who make you want to stay in their world but not rush to see what happens. Graham is definitely hitting his stride here and I can't wait for his next tale.

October 15, 2019What a book!
I loved everything this book offered. It was a short story in length but had all the qualities of an epic fantasy. It dove you into a world you didn't know you wanted to have in your thoughts. The characters came to life in ways that made the book hard to put down. I'm so glad I bought this! I will most definitely be reading it again, and again!
