Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

One of my all-time favorite comics, Through the Woodsis a master class in short story telling and the building of dread and fear. The stories feel like familiar fairy tales, but each one is a new creation and absolutely chock full of the suspense that honestly, we’re all looking for in a horror book. I’m more of a creepy mood guy than a gore guy, and Carroll delivers stories filled with anxiety and terror that check all my boxes for chills and sleepless nights.
