Jessica Scott, We Who Walk Here:
“A triumph of art, story, and design, When I Arrived at the Castle is an erotic, dreamlike graphic novel that combines gothic horror and fairy tales into an indefinable work of terror and beauty and the delicious fear that results when the two collide. The narrator, a cat-like young woman, arrives at a castle to kill the Countess, a vampiric monster who has been expecting the young woman’s arrival. Any further attempt to explain the plot would do very little to convey the eerie, transformative nature of this book…imagine a Hammer film starring only femmes fatales, directed by Clive Barker, with a script by Lewis Carroll (no relation). Surreal and sumptuous, this is Emily Carroll’s most innovative and breathtaking work to date.”
