Description

Was it revulsion I felt Perhaps some sort of sick fascination No, not that. But something compelled me to follow. . .

Rain-drenched and chilled to the bone, she arrives at the Countess' castle. Like many before her - none of whom have returned - she's determined to
snuff out the horrors within. But she could never be prepared for what hides within its turrets; what unfurls under its fluttering flags...

Emily Carroll's hair-raising tale, charged with eroticism, doesn't just make your skin crawl - it crawls underneath it.

Reviews

'Clever, dirty and incredibly scary, it's an announcement of vaulting ambition-and a welcome one.', Sam Thielman, Guardian, 'The best comics of thedecade' (2019)
