“Vision” is a wonderfully drawn story of a Victorian woman who divides her time caring for an ungrateful sister-in-law and being romanced by a haunted mirror. Don’t go expecting a romantic main plot, rather a portrait of the various stresses and rare delights in a repressed woman’s life. There are one or two many plotlines, ideas that could have been cut or given more time. But all of them are interesting.

This was recommended to me as a horror book and while it is haunting, I wouldn't describe it as that. It is gothic, weird and a short and sad story. It is a book about grief and loss that also has some explicit imagery involving a woman, her possessed mirror and a candle.

Very short and entertaining graphic novel. Gfrörer’s drawings are sketchy and at times deeply unsettling. I love her ink work and the way she draws bugs and botanicals.
