This spooky collection of short comics delivers both exquisite beauty and gruesome horror! Though I am not usually a fan of the horror genre, Carroll’s fairytale-like stories were camp and stylised, so that I could recognise the beauty in the macabre without getting too scared. Emphasis on the beauty: the illustrations were SO DAMN GORGEOUS. Despite Carroll’s world being full of wolves and monsters, I wanted jump into every illustration and live there. The stories themselves were gripping and haunting, and her use of panelling and page layout achieved a jump-scare effect I didn’t think would be possible in a book. I have nothing left to say except BRILLIANT.
