Some lovely descriptions of the countryside, and some pretty intense ones of the pursuit by the headless horseman. Humorous at times, and also cringe-worthy in others as some POVs just didn't age well. 

Overall, not a bad short story. But the cinematic versions of this definitely elaborate and extend a lot of creative liberties.
