Every small town has a legend. In Sleepy Hollow, it rides a black horse and carries a pumpkin where its head should be. Hunk Alley is the story of growing up in its shadow — first loves, first frights, and the kind of childhood you only get in a town this strange.
Sleepy Hollow, New York looks like any other town by daylight — until the fog rolls in off the Hudson and the old stories start to feel a little too real. Hunk Alley follows a childhood spent daring the dark, chasing the legend of the Headless Horseman, and discovering that growing up in a haunted town means your ghost stories and your life stories end up being the same thing.
Equal parts spooky, funny, and tender, it's a love letter to the kind of hometown you never quite leave behind — even after you've grown up and moved away.
"They called it Hunk Alley because that's where the ground dipped low enough that fog pooled there even in August — a little pocket of October, all year round. We weren't supposed to walk it after dark. Naturally, it was the only way home we ever took."
