‘It came from the woods. Most strange things do.’
Five mysterious, spine-tingling stories follow journeys into (and out of?) the eerie abyss.
These chilling tales spring from the macabre imagination of acclaimed and award-winning comic creator Emily Carroll.
Come take a walk in the woods and see what awaits you there…
This collection of five stories, all interrelated, came as a surprise to me. This thoroughly creepy book will having you staring at its pages long after you finish reading the words. My favorite story is “A Lady’s Hands Are Cold” about a bride who finds herself haunted by a prior resident. The next one I adored is “My Friend Janna”, that will make you wonder about your own friends and what follows them around at night. The artwork matches the pacing and words of the story perfectly.
The book is rounded out by three more stories. “The Nesting Place” is a Twilight Zone worthy tale about two brothers and a fiancee’, who isn’t what she appears to be. “Our Neighbor’s House” is something to be read at Halloween and the best known of the bunch is “His Face All Red” which appears online as a web comic. I enjoyed all of these spooky tales and think anyone would love to have this quirky book on their table. If you enjoy Neil Gaimen’s twisted sense of humor and in the drawing style of Edward Gorey, this is your book!

Let’s just say that I have a bit of an overactive imagination and an old house that likes to make strange noises.

This book looks super good! I’ve been trying to get into graphic novels lately. Great review 🙂
Also, I’m afraid of the dark when I’m home alone. Or watching a scary movie. Or reading a scary book. Pretty much all of the above…
Absolutely not, I have to be in total darkness to sleep. I love the dark I think its beautiful in a dark way. Lol
Nope, but I get jumpy when alone in a room by myself at night when reading a good horror novel! I scare the pants off myself, usually, LOL!
I’m not afraid of the dark. I can’t sleep with any light.
In my own house, I’m not afraid of the dark. Anywhere else, I’d have to say yes.
This sounds like a book I need to get.
No, but I don’t like unexplained sounds when I can’t see what’s going on. I always keep a flashlight by the bed.
Yes, I am afraid of the dark, I have been since I was really little.
I have always had to have a night light or at least the tv on.. And I’m almost 30 lol
Not quite the dark but dark basements… yes!

Yes, I’ve always been afraid of the dark. Over the years it’s gotten better, but it’s still traumatizing.
Only if I’m alone without my cellphone (which includes a flashlight!!)
Kind of afraid. Haha 🙂
