When I Arrived at the Castle
Checking Availibility...Description
Like many before her that have never come back, she's made it to the Countess' castle determined to snuff out the horror... but she could never be prepared for what hides within its turrets, what unfurls under its fluttering flags. E.M. Carroll has fashioned a rich gothic horror charged with eroticism that doesn't just make your skin crawl -- it crawls into it. Originally published by Koyama Press, this beloved E.M. Carroll erotic horror comic is back in print with Silver Sprocket, featuring a new foil-accented cover.

Reviews
"A beautiful, innovative horror comic. Carroll consistently presents us with perfectly cartooned, elegantly constructed characters and environments. Then, just as masterfully, she proceeds to squeeze them, maim them, and burn it all to cinders." -- Michael DeForge, Heaven No Hell
"This gothic encounter between a lady vampire and a catwoman may be a lesbian love story or a gory revenge tale...But either way, it's a bloody good tale." -- Jacob Anderson-Minshall, The Advocate
"Paw-curling, fur-raising, back-arching purr-freak-tion. This work is so fangs-out fierce, I'm still tasting blood and second-guessing the skin I am in. A monster talent in the startling arts of genre-bending, trope-shredding, badass body horror. -- Karen Walton, Screenwriter (Ginger Snaps, Orphan Black)
"Alice in Wonderland meets Dracula! Bloody, sensual and bewitching!" -- Coralie Fargeat, Filmmaker (Revenge)
"Carroll is that rare beast - a fabulous writer who also happens to be a great illustrator and understands colour in a way that brings something primal to everything they create." -- Lindsay Pereira, Huffington Post
"When I Arrived at the Castle feels like slipping into a rich velvet robe only to find that its red color is from centuries of bloodstains." -- Melissa Brinks, Women Write About Comics
"When I Arrived at the Castle is a blood-drenched romance and a cartoon gothic opera." -- Benjamin Welton, New York Journal of Books
"As violence and sex intermingle, it becomes more obvious that the stories express a nexus between fear and excitement, that moment when the possibilities are defined by fright and allure, and we this is a moment we have captured again and again in multiple fairy tales, legends, myths, and other types of stories through the eras." -- John Seven, The Comics Beat
