A good reread. Though I think I enjoyed the stories a bit more on first read. Still love the art and colors just as much.

Spoilers Ahead:

This book was fantastic. A series of short stories told in comic-style, and it was amazing. The pictures were beautifully illustrated, and they worked so well with the words in the stories. Everything fit together. The stories themselves were all very interesting, all of them filled with dark twists and turns, and I was kept on my toes throughout! A lovely read, a very quick read as well, and I would definitely recommend!

5 solid short stories for those into body horror, ghosts, and historical horror (?). Has almost a folklore vibe. Last one is my favourite.

I enjoyed this a lot! Emily Carroll's art style is right up my alley, I thought every panel was stunning. And the vibes were a perfect blend of creepy and whimsical. After I finished the first three stories, I was thinking about how each ending was written. As a collection, Through the Woods feels like a group of ghost stories told around a campfire. The endings cut sharp and abrupt, leaving a lot to the imagination. But also leaving a little bit to be desired, because I adore these stories and I want them to continue. The suspense isnt a bad thing, just part of it.

I've wanted to read this for a very long time and I'm glad I finally got to it. I think I would have liked it more when I was younger, but even now it was a pretty good time. The art is great, and it was quite creepy. If you're looking for something short to read this spooky season, I recommend it.
