Through the Woods

This book is full of gorgeous, terrifying tales of mysterious wooded misadventures that creep right into your brain and seduce you. --Lucy Knisley, author of RELISH: MY LIFE IN THE KITCHEN Beautiful, beguiling, and thrillingly eerie. --Michael Faber, author of THE CRIMSON PETAL AND THE WHITE The whole book is magnificently executed... is all dextrous and varied and absolutely masterful... Carroll...lures us in only to do terrible, wonderful things to our heads and hearts. --Amal El-Mohtar NPR Through the Woods is an uncanny wonder. This haunting collection of visual stories, part Stephen King and part Edgar Allen Poe, is a special kind of quiet horror. --John Hendrix, winner of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles Best of Show Award. Stunning, magical. Hauntingly gothic...[Through the Woods] made me feel like a child again, reading grim fairy tales. --Jane Harris, author of THE OBSERVATIONS Through the Woods will dazzle you, seduce you, amaze you, delight and frighten and enchant you. What a talent. What a voice. --Mark Siegel, author of SAILOR TWAIN, OR THE MERMAID IN THE HUDSON Through the Woods is a triumph, it's gorgeous, soft and bright, and it is dark, earthy and spin-chilling. [Emily Carroll] should be recognized as one of the best graphic storytellers out there. --Kate Beaton, author of HARK! A VAGRANT Emily Carroll's Through the Woods mesmerizes and inspires; a Victorian gothic playground haunted by Mary Shelley & Edward Gorey, awash in the dream-like haze of Odilon Redon, and composed with the poetic elegance of Ukiyo-e. I loved it. --Craig Thompson, three-time Eisner Award-winning author of BLANKETS
