I don't really know what to make of this one. It succeeds at being cruel and strange and disturbing, which is perhaps all you should ask from a horror story. The characters are painted as broadly and with as little depth as you'd expect from a fairy tale, and you hardly have time to feel anything about them before they're killed off. The art, however, is lovely.
