Am I getting used to horror or was this not as scary as I thought it would be?

I wanted to read this since it’s that time of year and I loved the movie. I understand that this was written a long time ago but boy it just didn’t age well…

It's an okay short story.

Although for a story called "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" there isn't that much about the legend. It's mostly just about Ichabod Crane thinking he's hot shit and looking for a wife.

Quite the perfect fall read - just the right amount of coziness with a dusting of eerie fireside tales. I’m not quite certain if there’s a deeper symbolism or moral implication, but I’m glad I read it

I wanted to like this book.. It's been something I've wanted to read for a long time. And it painted me lots of pretty pictures of scenery and such, but I found the story to be dull and not what I expected at all :(
