"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a short story of speculative fiction by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was first published in 1820. Along with Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannonball in battle.

Buffalo, late 1980s. Sasha is an immigrant with no future-a junkie whose life has long since shrunk to a gray blur of empty days and desperate attempts to escape. He crashes in a filthy flophouse on the outskirts, where snow stays on the ground for half the year and the only bright spot is cheap heroin. All he needed was to buy some food. Then one night changes everything. Stopping into a 24-hour convenience store, Sasha finds himself in the middle of a robbery. Gunfire erupts-and two thugs hit the floor. Bodies lie at his feet. A smoking pistol is in his hand. The only witness is a terrified cashier, whom Sasha drags into complicity. Now they're bound by a single secret: bury the bodies in the frozen ground and vanish. But the past has a long reach. The dead men turn out to be foot soldiers in the very gang Sasha's father once ran with. Now the mob is closing in. When they kill the cashier's mother, Sasha-a man who's already hit rock bottom-has nothing left to lose. His only play: pick up a gun and go to war against the system that crushed him long before he ever fired a shot.
