  • This was the perfect graphic novel for Halloween! It's a collection of horror stories by Emily Carroll and I really liked her storytelling, it was haunting and creepy. The only complaint I have is that the stories all ended very abruptly before we could properly unravel the mystery and I was left wanting to know more!
  • The art style is also absolutely stunning and my favorite part of the book! I love how the art adapts to the kind of story that is being told, I thought it was used very uniquely here. I definitely can see myself reading other works by this author as she's such a gifted artist!

I've been following Emily Carroll's work since she first published His Face All Red online. This book not only has this amazing classic but new comics that are beautiful and haunting.

to restate what everyone else has already said, the art is beautiful. like it really popped off that hard for the conclusion??? wow. but a few of the stories were too open-ended for my liking

These comics are beautiful, creepy, and extremely well designed. The paneling is deftly woven, the writing is tight, and the stories will stick with you. 4 stars because I feel like some of the comics are a little short and leave interesting possibilities on the table.
