“Fans of gothic horror will be eager to follow Ben into the
woods.”--Booklist
"With visceral visions of nightmares, creepy prose and a pace as
fast as the rush of horses’ hooves, Henry’s take on Irving’s
classic story is a one-sitting read, a chilling romp into the
forest that will remind readers that sometimes the scariest monster
in the room is human nature ."--BookPage
