Description
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.

Nichts für schwache Nerven!
Wer eine gute schaurige Geschichte mag, sollte diesen Comic unbedingt lesen! Hinter diesem stimmungsvollen Cover verbirgen sich mehrere Kurzgeschichten, die mich wirklich haben schaudern lassen. Der Zeichenstil ist einzigartig und surreal, genauso wie die Storys. Nichts für schwache Nerven, denn die Geschichten sind wirklich nicht ohne!
A spooky collection of horror stories with lots of twists and open endings that could have served as cliff-hangers, if one didn’t know that Emily never intended to finish these short stories. In particular, I found it very interesting that she never gave the reader too many insights into the monsters’ backgrounds except for the story “the nesting place” where she clearly even elaborated on it. Also, “His face all red” was probably my favorite piece from this collection as it truly gave me chills. And by far the following quote is definitely one that I have memorized by now because of how dreadful and true it as at the same time: SPOILER WARNING “What a fine night! What a good walk! I knew the wolf wouldn’t find me!” “Oh but you must travel through the woods AGAIN and AGAIN”, said a shadow at the window. “And you must must be lucky to avoid the wolf EVERY time. But the wolf… the wolf only needs enough luck to find you ONCE”
3,5* Die Illustrationen in diesen Buch sind einfach nur wunderschön und haben dieses Buch wirklich besonders gemacht. Von den Geschichten haben mir die ersten 3 Geschichten unglaublich gut gefallen, vor allem die erste war nicht nur optisch ein Meisterwerk. Jedoch konnte ich mit den letzten 2 Geschichten nicht wirklich was anfangen, daher habe ich den Buch letztendlich 3,5 Sterne geben und kann es jedem Horror Graphicnovel Fan nur ans Herz legen
I've always loved the woods. I love the mostly untouched nature and all it's beauty. I love it when the sun's shimmering through the trees during the day, and I respect and fear it during the night. When trees and branches get distorted and forming shadows, that your brain interprets as pure terror. I think everyone feared the woods at night as a child, and many adults still do. They were/are the perfect embodiment of all our fears. Through the Woods captures this feeling of fear and terror, I felt as a kid in the most perfect way. Even though not really centered around the woods, they're still in every story one way or another. Every tale has its own distinctive art style, and different feeling. But they're all so beautifully detailed that it's easy to get lost in them. The panels are cleverly used, and between illustrations of beauty there are drawings of horrors from deep within your nightmares. But still, the horror elements are more subtle, left to flourish in your head rather than graphic. It's like your every childhood fear come to paper. "I dreamt a Captain dressed in grey I dreamt I wore a long white coat I dreamt a stone caught in my throat I dreamt I choked and choked and choked"</b I recommend this beauty of a book to everyone, that still knows about the now embarrassing things that we feared as a child. This book makes you revisit them and who knows, maybe they weren't so reasonless?
