What did you think of Through the Woods? I've enjoyed some of her online comics and been eyeing it.

I thought it was good. Some of it was really interesting, and some just wasn't my thing, though to be fair, I wasn't expecting it to be quite as dark as it was. I was disappointed that my library didn't have anything else by her.

I think she only has the one book, plus two video games (of the narrative sim and exploration kind): The Yawgh and Gone Home, both of which I like. She co-created the first and has art in the second. There are books from an Emily Jean Carroll on Amazon, but I'm not sure it's her.

She has ten comics that weren't in the book at her site emcarroll com (omitting parts of the URL so this won't go into spam.) "Margot's Room", "The Three Snake Leaves", and "Grave of the Lizard Queen" are a little interactive. I love her art and how it's pretty much one with the story.
