NOTE TO READERS: The Sleepy Hollow Incident was originally published as a four-book rapid release serial in October of 2025. In order to manage expectations, I would like for you to know that The Sleepy Hollow Incident is not a series, meaning, although the story is divided into four books, each book is a continuation from the last with one streamlined narrative across the entire story. In order to fully grasp the complexity and, without a doubt, the conclusion of the story you will need to read all four books, which are also presented in the book titled, The Sleepy Hollow Incident: The Complete Gothic Tale! I request for all readers to keep this in mind when posting your review. Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.With gratitude,PD Alleva
