Of all of the gothic horror graphic novel fairy tales in this collection, Carroll’s unnerving take on Bluebeard ‘A Lady’s Hands Are Cold‘ blew me away. It’s the most complete and satisfying of the bunch. Gorgeous, vivid illustrations and lyrical yet elegantly simple prose. And the goriest story of them all while the others thrive mostly on what you cannot see.
There was a girl
& there was a man
And there was the girl’s father
who said, “you will marry this man.”
