'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...
I've always wanted to read a graphic novel. I thought i should branch out to different genres in the book world. I brought this book last year and figured the pictures were so disturbing it was definalty a book to read around aumtum/winter time.
It's a collection of short dark, twisted stories. I'm actually not sure how best to read a graphic novel, do you look at the pictures and make up your own assumptions or go with the little writing there and interpret it another way. I was a bit stuck and kind of flew through it. I'm not sure if much even went into my mind. It just reminded me of a comic book.
However i must say the pictures are wonderful, even if they are scary. They're gruesome, twisted, dark and can if read at the right time of year, mess with your mind. I usually have an overactive imagination,so i was expecting nightmares after this.
I'm actually tempted to find out more about the author, to see what other books are out there.
