Sculpted spines and ribbed page edges, so it reads as a stack of well-worn hardbacks on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the three monsters on this stack, two are the real thing. Dracula really is a vampire; Frankenstein's creature really does live. The Headless Horseman is another matter. In Irving's story, Ichabod Crane, a gangly schoolteacher, and Brom Bones, the local strongman, are both courting the same farmer's daughter. Riding home from her house one night, Ichabod is chased through the woods by the Horseman, who flings his own head at him. Ichabod is never seen again. In the morning the searchers find his hat by the bridge and, next to it, a smashed pumpkin. Irving never says so outright, but he does mention that Brom married the girl and could never hear the pumpkin mentioned without laughing — and most readers come away with the same idea: the head was a pumpkin, and the rider was Brom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you'll love it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree titles, three covers — vampire, creature, and Horseman, each with its own artwork and spine detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrainage hole with a removable rubber stopper — a succulent when the stopper is out, pens and desk odds and ends when it's in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed page-edge texture and sculpted spines, the kind of detail that gets noticed up close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for a desk, a windowsill, or the end of a shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gothic-fiction readers, dark-academia shelves, Halloween styling that can stay out all year, or anyone who'd like their decor to tell a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Molded ceramic, glossy finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5\" × 7\" × 3.75\" (12.7 × 17.8 × 9.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrainage hole with removable rubber stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for succulents, small plants, or dry display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA literary planter for the shelf — three gothic classics, with or without a plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashley Jordan Gifts \u0026 Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57062876020902,"sku":"269105","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/3043\/5494\/files\/317192ebb8aa9ac3b71ce42730d261a704fe019d44a5ded70a82d3594b93f0de.jpg?v=1787110081","url":"https:\/\/ashleyjordangnd.com\/products\/stacked-books-planter-the-gothic-edition","provider":"Ashley Jordan Gifts \u0026 Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
