Mit „Die Legende von Sleepy Hollow" schuf Washington Irving einen der bekanntesten Klassiker der phantastischen Literatur. Im abgeschiedenen Dorf Sleepy Hollow verbreiten sich unheimliche Geschichten über einen kopflosen Reiter, der nachts durch die Wälder streift. Der ehrgeizige Schulmeister Ichabod Crane gerät zunehmend in den Bann der düsteren Legenden – bis eine schicksalhafte Begegnung sein Leben für immer verändert. Irving verbindet feinen Humor mit schauriger Atmosphäre und erschafft eine Erzählung zwischen Volksmärchen, Gothic Horror und psychologischer Spannung.
