Saturday, October 10, 2026 1:00 PM Tarrytown Music Hall, Tarrytown, NY
Presented by The Music Hall and Transom Books
Get an exclusive glimpse into local folklore and history from popular podcaster and bestselling author J.W. Ocker, whose brand-new book, Chasing the Headless Horseman (Countryman Press, Sept. 2026), investigates how a quiet riverside village became a global phenomenon and why Washington Irving’s gothic legend has endured for more than two centuries. Ocker will talk about his new book, then join a panel discussion with Horseman-inspired novelists Christina Henry, Nichole Louise, Alyssa Palombo, and Jude S. Walko. Chris Steib of Transom Bookshop will introduce and moderate the panel.
A signed copy of J.W. Ocker’s Chasing the Headless Horseman is included in the price of each ticket. After the show, attendees will have a chance to meet the panelists and purchase additional books for signing.
