“I read Through the Woods by Emily Carrol when I was in my late 30s and struggling creatively and emotionally. I can’t recall why I purchased the book, but it was the first comic or graphic novel I had ever read, except for Watchmen a decade prior. This book played a crucial role in my life, as I may not be working on my own comic today without it.
It’s a fantastic compilation of horror stories, each one building suspense til the brilliant end. The layout of the pictures and words are creatively intertwined, further building the tension of each story. If you enjoy horror comics or don’t mind a bit of dread and suspense in your comics, I highly recommend this book.
