There is something living inside Bell’s brother’s fiancée and only see can see it, and she has to use her wits to try to escape it. “The Nesting Place” wraps up the book with a tale that is probably closest to straight horror. “My Friend Janna” is a story of the dangers of playing with the unknown as a curse haunts two girls. “His Face All Red” is a bit more obtuse and the story of a brother’s betrayal and an almost Telltale Heart type revenge on him (it was an adaptation of Carroll’s webcomic that helped initially gain her attention). “A Lady’s Hands are Cold” is a mash-up of the story of Bluebeard, Rebecca, Jane Eyre, and something more modern like Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark where a young bride finds herself stuck in a mansion haunted by spirits of the past. ANN BY THE BED, 2014, a short horror comic, published by Youth in Declin e as part of their award-winning Frontier series. “Our Neighbor’s House” is a story of childhood fear and features a family slowly disappearing…leaving only one behind. THROUGH THE WOODS, 2014, a book of short horror comics, published in North America by Margaret K McElderry Books, and in the UK by Faber and Faber.

The story is presented in classic anthology style and dives into many classical genres of the horror story from gothic to psychological. It’s always awkward when you meet your husband’s ex I love anthologies and I love classic ghost stories…and Through the Woods provides both with style. I came upon Through the Woods while searching for horror comics (I was not familiar with Carroll’s webcomics). The graphic novel received positive reviews and awards including an Eisner. The book was released in 2014 and includes an adaptation of a story from Carroll’s website in addition to new material.

Wed to a man she doesn’t know, a woman hears strange whispering her home that hide a deadly secret. A father’s disappearance during a snowstorm leads to an unexpected nightly visitor, and three sisters struggling for survival. The woods are scary at night but even in the day they hold secrets.
