More Spooky Legends in the Next Chapter of the YA Queer Graphic Novel Series HOLLOW
A Fresh Take on Classic Ghost Stories, Summer 2025
The wait is finally over! The story of Hollow continues from the New York Times bestselling writer Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes), co-writer Branden Boyer-White, and fan-favorite artist Berenice Nelle in HOLLOW: THE WOMAN IN WHITE.
“We got such an incredible response from readers on the first volume’s gorgeous visuals and sweet, spooky story, we couldn’t resist returning to the book’s world to show our version of Sleepy Hollow looking more distinctly beautiful than ever.” said Hollow co-creator Shannon Watters.
It’s been a quiet, perfect winter so far in the town of Sleepy Hollow. Izzy and Vicky’s relationship is amazing… except for some disastrous dates, which don’t mean anything…right? (Right?!) And best friends Croc and Leon are rock-solid, trying to make a hit out of their new ghost-hunting web series…until jealousy springs up and threatens to ruin things with Croc’s girlfriend Marjorie (and maybe things between him and Leon, too–if only Croc would notice).
Then, in a string of spooky events, Leon vanishes near Raven Rock, a spot made famous by hundreds of years of sinister legends. Luckily, the friends have a history of solving supernatural riddles, and help from their own ghostly ally–the Headless Horseman of the Hollow himself!
But the longer Leon is missing, the more dire things seem. And the deeper the friends get into the mystery of Raven Rock’s most famous ghost, the Woman in White, the more they realize they may be up against a force none of them are able to defeat…
“Working on this next volume was a blast, because it gave us the opportunity to dive into another of the Hollow’s famous legends. The Woman in White is arguably the second most famous ghost in Sleepy Hollow after the Horseman, and imagining our own spin on her tale that would make readers laugh and feel a tingle in their spines was such a fun process.” said Hollow co-creator Branden Boyer-White.
“It’s been a pleasure to revisit the charmingly quirky town of Sleepy Hollow, and to draw and color our young heroes as they grow with the challenges they face,” said Hollow illustrator, Berenice Nelle. “It is time for them to meet and face another local legend in an all new adventure!”
