dark mysterious tense

So spooky and scary but so gorgeous, the keyhole panels! The detail in the rooms! AHHH (on many levels)

stunning artwork, but needed more pages to give the story more oomf

Cool art and fun, cryptic story. Felt like it should have been a part of the Through the Woods collection instead of a stand alone piece.

Great drawings! If I'm honest, I'm still a little confused about the ending even after reading it twice, but I still enjoy it greatly! I think it's really cool what can be done with just red, white and black (and shades of grey, haha), and think this is fun for any spookier nights!

I...hmm. I enjoyed this, it was very creepy and atmospheric and well written and well illustrated. But I don’t know that I GOT it. Which is absolutely a me problem, but it does take away from my enjoyment. But this is such a quick read that even if you HATE it, you can’t be mad because it took 15 minutes. But it would be hard to hate!

Carroll’s bold and dramatic illustrations paint this gothic tale of two sapphic monsters haunted by obsession, each page dripping with blood
