Relation During Books Through the Woods
This book freaked my shit out. Yeah. How's that for a blurb? "This freaked my shit out." - Patrick Rothfuss The truth is, this book is amazing. I've read a lot of great comics this last year, and out of all of them, this is the one that had the most profound emotional effect on me. It's not gory, or graphic. It's... unsettling. It's creepy. It's like the darkest of the old-school faerie tales. I read it at night before I was going to go to bed. And when I was done, I was too unnerved to go to sleep. I had to read something else to settle myself down first. Seriously. I'm 40 years old. And still this thing got to me. Highly *highly* recommended.Describe Books Conducive To Through the Woods

If theres such thing as falling in love at first sight with graphics, I think I just experienced it.No, really. How am I supposed to rate this beautiful set of short stories? I would give it 5 stars solely for the art. The temptation is real, trust me. As it is, Im going to do some magic average trick and call it a day. Here we go. No surprise here, of course the art deserves all the stars! If Emily Carroll uses different techniques in each short story, I can safely say that I loved every one ofMY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading ListTHIS BOOK IS SO COOL, CREEPY, AND GREAT GRAPHICS!I'm going to do each little story so here we go......OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSEOne day a father of three girls says he's going out hunting, he told the girls that if he didn't come back in three days to go to the neighbor's house. I'm thinking they should have done what he said. Now I'm not sure if the same thing would have happened, but still... Since they decided to stay there, the next day one of the sisters said
I want to panel my bedroom with the pages from this book - although that might disturb visitors.I adored the imagery and writing as a whole, but for over half of the stories, I felt the endings fell a bit flat.
A very creepy collection of short horror comics. Perfect for the Halloween season!
What a beautiful book! The illustrations are simply amazing.In september, when summer is ending, I always feel like reading spooky stories. This book didn't disappoint!The short stories were interesting and creepy. Unfortunately, I wasn't really satisfied with most endings, but that didn't stop me from enjoying my read. ...and I have to repeat: this book is a work or art!5*: Sad to finish it, this book was amazing4*: Really liked it!3*: Liked it2*: Fell asleep a couple of times during my
if i were judging this book solely on its artwork, it would be an easy five stars. there are five main stories, plus an introduction and a conclusion, each with their own style of illustration. it's not that i love them all equally, but i do generally appreciate range and variety : in a way, it kind of reminded me of fear(s) of the dark, a film in which several different illustrators bring their own brand of creepy to life through unique animation stylings: this book is obviously more
A deliciously creepy graphic novel with some absolutely beautiful artwork. I'm very glad I read this during the day because some of those stories were quite gruesome. Loved it!
