As he is preparing to leave for college, Gregory Trent receives a surprising gift, a sword cane containing a portion of the blade of a knight of the Holy Grail. With this strange gift comes a sworn duty to use it against supernatural forces of evil. While in college, Trent falls for a mysterious girl, Doralice, but once he discovers her true nature, he must abandon his plans for a future together. Doralice swears vengeance, and as Trent begins investigating a series of supernatural events, the two are inextricably locked in an epic battle of good versus evil. Set in rural Kentucky, The Headless Horseman of Harrod's Creek and Other Encounters with the Supernatural of a Man Named Trent is a gripping tale of supernatural phenomena and creatures the likes of which are the stuff that nightmares are made of.
