Beneath the Dead Oak Tree by Emily Carroll

Odd-Shaped Panel: Often combined with the Infinite Canvas to have the story partially or wholly stretch down, across, or down and across a large page.Interface Screw: Combined with Odd-Shaped Panel, below, her works often need to be navigated differently from traditional webcomics- and sometimes strange things happen when panels are moused over.Don't Go in the Woods: Terrible things frequently happen in and around forests, usually because of something that lives there.'This Witch's Work' from The Witching Hour (co-creator).One of her stories, Some Other Animal's Meat, was adapted to television in the horror anthology series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities as ' The Outside'. Four take place in the modern Canadian town of Keeping. Most of the stories on her website are standalones, usually taking place in 18th to 19th century rural settings. Bad dreams are a recurring motif, particularly things not staying inside them, and she's written comics about her own strange nightmares. The comics are variously labeled as fairy tales, romance, or ghost stories, but nearly all of them involve elements of the macabre and terrifying. In certain stories, animated gif panels serve as Jump Scares. Her style is highly variable, shifting to fit the mood of the scene and makes use of vibrant colors as much as it does creepy monochrome. I just flew through the short story and enjoyed it immensely.Emily Carroll is an artist who writes horror comics. I would recommend this one to everyone looking for a short horror story to read. Then again, if you know Emily Carroll's other work you won't be surprised. I was a bit whut when she decided to flirt further with him even after what she knows but the ending is clear why she did that.īe warned tons of gruesomeness, blood, and more. That man, fox, is definitely one that everyone should avoid. And me as well, dang that was just the most gruesome thing that happens. and what she sees there fills her with horror and shock. He tells her to meet her at x time at the dead oak tree. It is about a female fox who flirts with a male fox at a party, all very fancy and aristocratic. It is a short story of just a few pages, while I wouldn't mind more, I think the size is perfect for what it tells. Each time I am looking forward to new work, and this one I found through Shortbox.

I just adore Emily Carroll, her work is amazing both her art and her stories. Foxes, murder, fancy balls, and oh my this was epic!
