Rain-drenched and chilled to the bone, she arrives at the Countess’ castle. Like many before her – none of whom have returned – she’s determined to snuff out the horrors within. But could she ever be prepared for what hides within its turrets; what unfurls under its fluttering flags. . .

Emily Carroll’s hair-raising tale, charged with eroticism, won’t just make your skin crawl – it will crawl underneath it.

‘Mind-bending . . . a taut, toothy drama and a chillingly muted psychological horror.’
Irish Times, ‘Best Graphic Novels of 2023’

‘Carroll’s talent is immense.’
Observer, Graphic Novel of the Month

‘Emily is the master, I die for her books’
KATE BEATON

‘Carroll knows when to shock on the turn of a page and when to leave her horrors lurking’
Independent

I used to dream of Dragons. . .

Abby is settling into married life: making coffee, cooking for David and her stepdaughter Crystal, spending evenings curled up together in front of the TV. For a quiet woman without many friends, she’s proud of the life she has built, and desperately wants to believe they will all be happy.

But what really happened to Crystal’s mother, the artist who no-one speaks of? What secrets does their strange house by the water harbour, and what of Abby’s old dreams and fears, of Lady Grey, the Knight and the Dragons?

In her chilling return – a story of grief, ghosts, and the struggle to be true to oneself – Emily Carroll casts another unforgettable spell.
