Where dark romance meets supernatural terror, a love story becomes a battle for salvation.
In a small town shrouded in shadows, a sinister alliance between love and darkness is forged. Winter, 1997. Marc Saduj, a romance writer, watches his beloved Lori Francon slip away after a car crash. Desperate to save her, he makes a deal with the mysterious Man in Black - his soul in exchange for her life. But as Lori miraculously recovers and returns to Long Island, Marc retreats to a foreboding mansion in Sleepy Hollow's western woods.
As mutilated bodies start appearing in town, Detective Stephen Carver follows a trail of medieval torture and satanic worship, all leading to Marc. But the truth is far more terrifying than anyone could imagine. When Lori discovers Marc's notebook detailing the murders, she rushes back to save him, only to find herself at the center of an ancient evil's resurgence. The Man in Black is no ordinary demon, and Marc's bargain has set in motion a chain of events that could unleash hell on earth.
As a celestial portal threatens to open and Marc's possession deepens, Lori must face the ultimate question - when someone sells their soul to save your life, what are you willing to sacrifice to save theirs?
Some bargains are sealed with a kiss. Others with a scream.

Reviews:
"This book 1 is utterly terrifying! I felt physically tense reading it. It's the whispering its nagging and digs into your brain. The imagery is incredible, you can Feel the Storm rolling in, building and raging. This is honestly the scariest book I have read in years!" ~ Alexandrea Christianson, Author of Zombies Dead Clown Apocalypse
“PD Alleva’s The Sleepy Hollow Incident is a mixing pot of terror—a healthy dose of gothic, a dash of demonic, and enough gore and body horror to shock and delight readers!” —Viggy Parr Hampton, author of The Rotting Room
"P. D. Alleva spreads fresh seed on well-trod ground with The Sleepy Hollow Incident. There’s certainly a tip of the hat to the giants of American gothic literature here including ghosts, dark pacts, and tragic romance, on display with ornate prose. Placing the story in the midst of a more modern police procedural puts a unique and voraciously readable spin on the familiar tropes we’ve loved for centuries. By the time you read the last lines you’ll be losing your head for more." ~ Caleb Jones, author of Red Pill Paradise.
"Dark, brooding, and deeply atmospheric, The Sleepy Hollow Incident is a supernatural gothic tale that sinks its claws in from the first page and doesn’t let go. P.D. Alleva masterfully blends elements of horror and romance in this haunting opener to a four-part saga, offering readers a chilling look at love and sacrifice." ~ Kayla Frederick, author of The Residency.
