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.

Through the Woods is a fast read with 5 creepy short stories that take place in the woods. It's spooky, but not overly scary. The artwork is beautiful! My favorite stories are: A Lady's Hands Are Cold and The Nesting Place. I wish I had this graphic novel as a kid because I would've told theses stories at sleepovers.

3.0

If I'm honest I was pretty underwhelmed by this. The reviews make it out that this book is super spooky and worth multiple rereads, but I personally did not see this. I wish it was creepier, and that the stories had more substance, plot, and twistiness. However, I did generally enjoy the art style. In terms of the individual stories:

Our Neighbour's House: this one went over my head. I didn't get it at all
A Lady's Hands are Cold: I really loved the colour palette for this one, but it was pretty basic
His Face So Read: too much is left unexplained here for the story to have any real impact
My Friend Janna: this was fine, it had more explanation, but the story didn't really go anywhere interesting
The Nesting Place: the most well-rounded of the stories
