Emily Carrol Horror Comics (19.5 points) Nominated by: Pirateking2000 (0/5 remaining) http://www.emcarroll.com/ Importance: 5 Fear: 6.5 Snake: 8 In my first ever horror rankings, I reviewed Emily Carrol's fantastic anthology book, Through the Woods, which featured five gorgeously drawn Gothic tales that were extremely chilling in the best way. This anthology featured one of her most famous works, "His Face All Red", but I think there's two stories, "Our Neighbor's House" & "In Conclusion", that are the perfect indications to what you can expect from the rest of Mrs. Carrol's body of work. "In Conclusion" is based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and the comic features a strong dark fantasy lean, with the artwork shifting through different modes of surrealism and realism, creating a sense of paranoia and an emphasis on uncertainty. Like a lot of Carrol's stories, the horror slowly creeps up throughout the comic before going off like a bomb at the end. "Our Neighbor's House" follows a similar format, but what I love about this comic is its rhythmic flow, like a poem. Almost very page is punctuated after either 3 or 4 panels that reveal something new & scary to the reader while driving the story forward, and these lines are usually short but hard-hitting. Not only is this effective for the horror, but it's just satisfying and brisk to read through, and makes you focus on the artwork just as much as the dialogue, which I think is the primary goal of Carrol's stories. I've also taken notice to the corruption of innocence in many of her stories, as well as a focus on family, with stories often being from the perspective of a young girl. This corruption tends be to represented as the surrealism that takes over the realistic parts, personified by vicious animals like the wolf. Carrol's horror comics are all definitely worth checking out, especially if you're in the mood for twisted fairy tales in the true spirit of the Brothers Grimm. --- What I am about to do has not been approved by the Vatican. https://imgur.com/MmrKwGZ - https://imgur.com/ntWVGyh <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:929751116] in Snake Rank...
