I've been binge-watching BookTube (YouTube videos for book lovers full of reviews, book hauls, etc) which of course means I've added a ton of books to my TRL (To-Read-List for any newbies to the blog. Hey there!). As I've mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of graphic novels. However, I saw a review...
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 t...

Most strange things do.’ Five mysterious, spine-tingling stories follow journeys into (and out of?) the eerie ...
Genuinely frightening graphic novel with fairy tale echoes. I recommend NOT reading this one right before bed, as I unfortunately did.

As soon as I saw this book I knew I had to read it! I thought this would be a book of gruesome fairy tale retellings, but Emily Carroll corrected me (to my unending delight) with this gorgeous book: 1) Emily Carroll writes her own gruesome fairy tales. 2) Emily Carroll writes her own gruesome f...
I am head over heels for this book. A graphic novel of sorts with 5 stories, the illustrations are absolutely wonderful and the tales are quite chilling. Though each story is but a few pages long, they can really freak you out and I only wish I read this closer to Halloween! I could read this over a...
You will love Through the Woods if: You’re in the mood for something scary and unexpected. You like your fairy tales dark and unsettling, in the Grimm tradition. You want illustrations to perfectly suit the tone and content of the story. But if you want to sleep soundly tonight, beware. Through t...
