Beautifully disgusting images to tell a horror story that is purposefully perplexing. Five stars for the art.

NEW EMILY CARROLL JUST IN TIME FOR SPOOKY SEASON LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

But honestly, if you know anything about my reading habits you know Through the Woods is near my tippity top. A collection of horror stories in GRAPHIC NOVEL form?? Nom nom nom.

This one, however, is a standalone story, and *might* have topped Through the Woods. It's spooky. It's sapphic. It's brutal and gorgeous and I'm just as obsessed with this artist as ever.
