This is one that I have had on my radar for a long time, but simply never picked up. Recently I saw it was included with Audible, so I gave it a go. 
If you've read any of my reviews, I'm not much for classic ‘horror'. And this is a classic that mostly suffers from being written when it was. The horseman was not featured in 70% of the story itself, and even then it doesn't really add much for me. I will say this one did at least have a one-scene climax! I feel like some of the ones I've read before are just kind of literally nothing the entire time. That was not this one! Ichabod has his own run in with the headless horseman!
Terrible time period descriptors of people's color did not add an ounce to the enjoyment.
