He’s a STAR WARS fan and a history geek. He doesn’t believe in ghosts or the afterlife. He doesn’t believe in psychic powers or tarot cards. He doesn’t believe in the Headless Horseman.
But Sleepy Hollow will change all that. Because Jason Crane has a heritage to claim. Jason Crane has a Gift to discover. And Jason Crane has an old enemy who will RISE HEADLESS AND RIDE.
THE JASON CRANE SERIES re-invents and re-imagines classic American ghost literature. Two books take place in Sleepy Hollow, the next two take the cast to Salem (“The House of the Seven Gables” and the infamous witch trials), and the next two take place in haunted Washington D.C. and Baltimore (“The Fall of the House of Usher” and other works of Edgar Allen Poe.)
