I just rewatched Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and it got me wondering if there are any mystery/horror novels similar to it. For anyone who hasn't seen the film, it takes a lot liberties from Washington Irving's original short story. This movie is more of a horror murder mystery with Ichabod Crane being a detective investigating murders in Sleepy Hollow.
Basically what I'm looking for in a book boils down to a few key elements:
- Mystery/Horror genre
- A skeptic detective character
- supernatural elements like spirits or a monster
- I would prefer the drama to still be centered around the humans with a possible human perpetrator or accomplice.
Thanks for any suggestions!
