Tales of the Mist

  ''When I looked through the window the wind blew through the trees, their shadows spreading far. Souls would appear, trembling and searching, for me.'‘

A brilliant graphic novel that consists of four chapters narrating stories haunted by four eerie figures of Spanish Folklore. Spanish lore is full of mysterious, uncanny customs, entities and traditions and Tales of the Mist communicates the haunting tone of the legends through minimal, yet highly effective dialogue.

''But how can we be so foolish as to believe that everything we can't comprehend isn't real?'‘
Perfectly illustrated to make your blood run cold and have you look behind your shoulder a few (too many...) times, this is a necessary addition to your collection if you love myths and folklore. ''On lonely paths I wander which only the wounded treat, aimless their souls tormented, the long processions of the Dead.'‘
