- 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 think this is a fun read and I would recommend it, but probably only if you borrowed it from your library. The stories didn't have enough substance to merit me wanting to buy this or check it out again, though I do think if there's a sequel I would be interested in checking it out and reading it too.
