Washington Irving (1783–1859) was an American author, short story writer, essayist, poet, travel book writer, biographer, and columnist. He is best known for writing the stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Early on, he was a contributor to the Morning Chronicle, published Salmagundi, and served as editor of Analetic magazine in Philadelphia and New York. In 1809, he published the comical A History of New York under the name "Dietrich Knickerbocker." Eleven years later, he published a collection of stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which allowed him to become a full-time writer. Other books written by Irving are Bracebridge Hall, Chronicles of the Conquest of Granada, A Tour of the Prairies, and The Life of George Washington, a five-volume title.

“I truly believe that if you’re going to replicate the classics, you better make sure you’ve got a capable cast able to shoulder the load, and no better result could be offered than with Macabre Mansion Presents…that will bring you back to the days of old-time radio presentation. Directed by Kevin Herren and backed by an army of acting talents, ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow‘ is Washington Irving’s creepy narrative about a scaredy-cat named Ichabod Crane and his dogged attempt to escape the Headless Horseman. Herren should be applauded for the talent that has been assembled here in order to provide an auditory experience that will make any fan of those classic shows very happy…This is the stuff that should be enjoyed in place of the computer, or tablet, or TV, or iWatch…So roll on back to the olden days, kick back, and listen with the lights off…after all, it’s much better in the dark.” DreadCentral.com (4 stars)
