The next book in my series of reviews is "The Secret Journal of Ichabod Crane" by Alex Irvine. It is a tale of modern day Sleepy Hollow through the journal of a newly resurrected Ichabod Crane.
The story starts with Ichabod waking up in prison with the lieutenant and fellow officers believing him insane. After many discussions and the return of the hessian, Lieutenant "Abbie" and a few select others now know that Ichabod has been telling the truth all along.
Now, Ichabod and Abbie along with some allies have to hunt down the hessian and stop he world from being ended by the demon Moloch.
This is a great story, albeit it was slow at first to peak my interest. It allows the reader to be introduced into the story behind the original Sleepy Hollow novel.
It sticks true to the fact that Ichabod Crane often recorded data in journals, and continues to do so centuries later. And, his distaste for new things such as cell phones and fashions is entertaining.
The new characters introduced such as Abbie, Jenny, Henry Parrish, etc. are quite interesting and are a great addition to the classic tale.
This book left me wondering what will come next for Ichabod and Abbie in the next volume.
