Through the Woods by Emily Carroll (2014-07-15)

I love Emily Carroll's work, have been following her for years. This is an artistically original and deliciously creepy collection, a must have for any lover of dark fairy tales. I can only hope that she will continue to publish her work in collections like these.

Love it! So unique and spooky and such beautiful compositions. Beyond being a collection of entertaining horror stories, it's the perfect book for discussions among friends- you are rewarded for multiple readings, paying close attention, and giving deeper analysis. A terrific haunt!

This graphic novel is a great showcase of Carroll's signature blend of understated horror. She leaves just enough unsaid to leave the reader wanting more, but delivers enough horror to make the story satisfying.

Truly spectacular in every way. I have been a fan of Emily Carroll for quite awhile now and this book certainly does not disappoint. Not everyone will enjoy the stories and I highly recommend that you read a few of her earlier stories off her website before you purchase if you are unfamiliar with her.
With that say I can most certainly say that I enjoyed every story in the book, if I had one compliant it would be that it is a tad short. There are really only five stories and only four of them are new. However, all of them are good, and you will probably want to read through each of them multiple times.

Absolutely stunning artwork coupled with wonderfully creepy stories guaranteed to make you sleep with your lights on.
Emily Carroll is a brilliant story teller and artist, and I hope she produces another terrifying collection soon!
