Hollow OGN
Hollow OGN | Shannon Watters
4 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
Sleepy Hollow and queer romance meet in this coming-of-age tale from the co-creator of Lumberjanes! Isabel "Izzy" Crane and her family have just relocated to Sleepy Hollow, the town made famous by--and obsessed with--Washington Irving's legend of the Headless Horseman. But city slicker-skeptic Izzy has no time for superstition as she navigates life at a new address, a new school, and, with any luck, with new friends. Ghost stories aren't real, after all.... Then Izzy is pulled into the orbit of the town's teen royalty, Vicky Van Tassel (yes, that Van Tassel) and loveable varsity-level prankster Croc Byun. Vicky's weariness with her family connection to the legend turns to terror when the trio begins to be haunted by the Horseman himself, uncovering a curse set on destroying the Van Tassel line. Now, they have only until Halloween night to break it--meaning it's a totally inconvenient time for Izzy to develop a massive crush on the enigmatic Vicky. Can Izzy's practical nature help her face the unknown--or only trip her up? As the calendar runs down to the 31st, Izzy will have to use all of her wits and work with her new friends to save Vicky and uncover the mystery of the legendary Horseman of Sleepy Hollow--before it's too late. New York Times-bestselling writer Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes) and debut author Branden Boyer-White are joined by artist Berenice Nelle (Wanderlicht) in a coming of age tale that's at once a faithful homage and a free-wheeling spin-off of the classic Legend of Sleepy Hollow and everyone's favorite headless specter.

4 ⭐ This is a modern graphic retelling of Sleepy Hollow. Our characters are Vicky Van Tassel, and Isabella Crane, and Bryn. Isabella is new to town and her parents want her to make friends, but she doesn‘t get the whole hype around Sleepy Hollow and its history. Vicky, being a real Van Tassel knows more about the history than she ever wanted to. She must live it day-to-day year-to-year, even though she just wants to be a normal girl.

LibrarianRyan Bryn is a prankster, head of the water polo team, and a big sports jock. Isabella gets the shock of her life when she finds out that the headless horseman is real and he‘s actually been trying to flag somebody down for 200 years. He needs to tell the Van Tassels he is there to keep them safe both now and in the future. This was a whimsical fun look at Sleepy Hollow. It‘s geared towards YA but I think it would be okay for middle grade and younger. 2y
LibrarianRyan There is a page where Isabella and Vicky R fell asleep in the same bed but they‘re in their pajamas. Overall, this was a fun atmospheric read and it could possibly have a sequel after all it says “the end for now”. 2y

I don‘t know anything about the legend of spooky hollow, but I loved this modern day graphic novel retelling. Atmospheric and unpredictable, it manages to be both scary and heartwarming. Gorgeous inclusive characters you can really get behind. Thank you NetGalley for the digital review copy 😍
