"A haunting is like anything else in life. Impossible to prepare for. So it's better not to have expectations." I've been a fan of Emily Carroll for a while ever since reading 'Through the Woods' a few years ago. 'A Guest in the House' is a brand new horror graphic novel that is breathtaking. With some of the most hauntingly beautiful spreads & panels I've seen in a Graphic Novel in ages! 
A Haunted House novel that deals with trauma, loss & loneliness. Emily is very much in a league of her own.
