Reread #1 (2019): ★★★★☆

My favourite story is still His Face All Red.

Original Read (2015): ★★★★☆

I enjoyed the colours and style of this artist. I even read more of her works since finishing this because it is so deliciously beautiful. All of the female characters' faces were kind ofweird though - the facial expressions, maybe? - so some stories, like the first one, were a little off-putting.

In its entirety, this was a rather spooky, eerie and somehow beautifully haunting collection, just like we are promised. Obviously, there were some stories that stood out more than others, but they were all enjoyable. However, I wasn't a big fan of the way that they all ended on cliff-hangers and we never got to find out what happened or the truth (depended on the story, of course). The first story's cliffhanger and the unresolved ending still sticks with me. I want to know who was in that bloody house and what happened to the father!

My favourite stories were A Lady's Hands are Cold and His Face All Red.
