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!

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.

Eerie and beautifully illustrated, this graphic anthology reads like the dark twin of a beloved bedtime story. It will leave you feeling haunted in your own home yet hungry for more. On a critical note though, the cast of main characters is decidedly monotonous.
