Evermore: Sleepy Hollow is a beautifully illustrated comic fantasy written by Joshua Gamon, featuring incredible artwork by Aleksander Bozic Ske. Abigail, a young girl, goes missing, and her father, Doctor Fredrick Fellowes, enters a cursed fairy tale book to find her. Together with their samurai friend, Kiku, they believe the world of Sleepy Hollow is a peaceful haven ruled by Ichabod Crane; however, trouble looms when a peaceful summit turns into bloodshed. Nothing is what it seems, and evil lurks in every corner. Things get even more complicated when the legendary thief, Arsène Lupin, sets his insidious plans in motion.

Joshua Gamon’s Evermore is epic. It is deftly plotted, and readers are introduced to a cast of intriguing characters — from creatures of legend to vengeful queens and characters from classic literature. The illustrations are terrific, and they capture the characters' emotions, infusing the sparkling dialogues with life and allowing the tension to feel real to readers. The world-building is impeccable, and readers will be transported to a finely imagined world filled with danger, intrigue, and powerful forces at play. The suspense is built around the identity of Abigail. I wanted to discover why she got into the magical book and everything about her destiny. It is also interesting to follow every move the characters make, wanting to know if they can succeed against the odds to find their way out of the accursed world. This fantasy tale is well-paced and ingeniously crafted to keep any reader turning the pages. I found it hard to put down.
