Review:

I've previously read Through the Woods by this author and really liked it, so I was excited to pick this book up.

The art is definitely my favorite part of this. Carrolls style is dark, slightly gruesome and stunning. I especially love the color palette, as it sticks to reds, black and white, which is perfectly suited for horror. 

I did find the story in here a little confusing and I wish there was more of it; I was left feeling like I liked the book but didn't really understand it. It feels disjointed and a little vague. Maybe on a reread it'll make more sense.

I did still enjoy this though, even if it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Fun to read during October!
