The title Hollow Requiem blends two central elements of the novel: place and purpose. "Hollow" refers to the haunted town of Sleepy Hollow, a setting where legends bleed into reality and the past never stays buried. "Requiem" evokes a mournful composition for the dead, symbolizing both the personal grief carried by FBI profiler Izzy Crane and the larger, looming end foretold by the rise of the Four Horsemen.

Together, the title suggests a final lament-not just for the people of Sleepy Hollow, but for humanity itself. As ancient seals break and the apocalypse inches closer, Izzy becomes the embodiment of Requiem: the one who must decide whether to end the world... or save what's left of it.

Perfectly gothic and ominous, Hollow Requiem is a story of reckonings-personal, mythical, and prophetic.
