I think Emily Carroll can see into people's nightmares, or if these are her own I feel profoundly bad for her. These short creepy tales left me feeling anxious and unsettled (as well written horror should), and the artwork, while gorgeous, will haunt me (especially the art in "The Nesting Place").

I loved the use of primary colors interspersed with start whites and blacks, and while the stories were all separate the color palette and sense of time moving forward tied them together beautifully. The first tale felt medieval, and the last like you were in the 1900s.

This graphic novel is a feast for the eyes and the senses, from the wonderfully textured cover, the glossy pages, and the saturated colors. I almost felt pervy as I kept stroking the cover and pages, but I guess that goes with the whole creepy feel.

Bravo.
