Exclusive Horror Story From The Absolutely Chilling Through The Woods

Oh holy hell—Emily Carroll's horror comic collection Through The Woods is so freaking spooky. We absolutely inhaled this book when we got it in our hands. Each little horror comic is so creepy and absolutely gorgeous. It's Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark kinds of fun. And we have an exclusive...

easier version to read

 

[Spideyman]

The weekly read is a graphic story rather than a written one. Something different. Did you enjoy it?
Only graphics I've read are the early DT related comics and a few of Joe Hill's.

This story , to me, was more unsettling and creepy than gory. Tones of horror and terror.
Colors played a part too. Earth tones/ bleak colors, yet that striking red splash.

What are your thoughts?

 

[fljoe0]

I enjoyed it.

I liked " the sun set bloodred in a white sky."

 

[Spideyman]

Yes. Colors played a part in the story.
Glad you liked it-- was just a different way to read a story.
The graphic book is supposed to have 3 more stories in same form.

....well done effort, much said with few words and the description of the “man” is niggling at my mind-there is a horror movie that features a creature much like that....I shall go investigate....great idea Spidey, I enjoy many graphic novels and she has talent...

 

[Tery]

Oh, that was excellent! The illustrations are so stark and evocative. Creepy little tale. Thanks!

Poltergeist II. The old preacher man.

....yep, and the “smile” I found on The Crooked Man from The Conjuring.....

 

[Spideyman]

Thanks everyone--it was fun.

Great artwork for such a short little tale.

And very spooky. Obviously the man showing up to cart off these loved starved mountain women was the neighbor. Because the last daughter goes to the neighbor and it's him!. Who was the man with the smile? And why would dad want them to go to this neighbor?

This was a very creepy little tale! I liked it very much.

Are the other 3 stories available? If so we should also read those. I will go look right now.

 

[cat in a bag]

I'm not finding it anywhere, just that first story for free. We'll have to keep our eyes open.

 

[fljoe0]

We need a story for the week we come back. Anybody have a pick? If not, I'll pick something by tommorow morning.

How about Wolverton Station by Joe Hill?

It's in the new collection, Full Throttle but it was also released as a kindle single a few years ago so I think we all have it in some form.

Chime in if that sounds ok or not.

 

[cat in a bag]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Spideyman]

count me in.
