About this ebook

Discover a terrifying world in the woods in this collection of five hauntingly beautiful graphic stories that includes the online webcomic sensation “His Face All Red,” in print for the first time.

Journey through the woods in this sinister, compellingly spooky collection that features four brand-new stories and one phenomenally popular tale in print for the first time. These are fairy tales gone seriously wrong, where you can travel to “Our Neighbor’s House”—though coming back might be a problem. Or find yourself a young bride in a house that holds a terrible secret in “A Lady’s Hands Are Cold.” You might try to figure out what is haunting “My Friend Janna,” or discover that your brother’s fiancée may not be what she seems in “The Nesting Place.” And of course you must revisit the horror of “His Face All Red,” the breakout webcomic hit that has been gorgeously translated to the printed page.

Already revered for her work online, award-winning comic creator Emily Carroll’s stunning visual style and impeccable pacing is on grand display in this entrancing anthology, her print debut.

Ratings and reviews

I love that the stories are short be really good and not to scary. Also you have to really read and pay attention to everything that is happening because then you won't really understand anything, other then that I really love this book, I've been reading for nearly 6 years now and I still love it!!♡♡

I've followed her work for the past couple of years and this book does not disappoint! It is reminiscent of Brother's Grimm meet Edgar Allan Poe. I can't wait to read more of her work!

But the stories fell flat for me. I wanted more from all of them. More character development and better endings.
