While the short stories themselves weren't nearly as strong as I'd hoped, the art just blew me away! The last third of the book is concept sketches and story-related finished pieces, and I fell in love with every single one. She's a master of atmosphere and telling such profound stories with just single pieces of art. (

There is nothing groundbreaking here, but the three fantasy/horror stories are quite well done, especially the middle story, "The Mire." I'd certainly like to see Cloonan do another collection like this or tackle a longer piece in the same vein. (
