The majority of Carroll's stories tend to involve human characters who succumb to horrors unspeakable, while this story turns the tables on the antagonist and reads like the author's working through some issues. This is great for Emily Carroll, though not so much for the reader. The story doesn't end with an unknowable existential horror, or sinister conclusion, but something akin to self-empowerment. The story and art tells a very abstract tale of vampires, erotica, and death. The bold art uses black and white with flourishes of red, which unnerves through nightmarish imagery while also being gorgeous in a grotesque way. Emily Carroll is easily on par with the likes of Junji Ito in conveying a sense of creeping dread. As she evolves and grows as an artist/writer I only hope she doesn't lose what makes her work truly shine: Endings which are pitch-black and unknowable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much to dig into for such a relatively small book *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2020* On top of having the level of art you'd expect from such an experienced and powerful artist, the level of layering in the story, the background details on the pages, it all comes together to make a story that's both eerie and intriguing. I enjoy especially a horror story that leaves to with puzzles to muddle over, and ideas to untangle. I also enjoy when an author writes in such a way that the second reading is entirely different from the first--that a twist makes it so you can't help yourself but have to flip back to the beginning again and experience it in a whole new, equally intriguing way ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short, but very nice *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019* I love this author and have read most of her works. This one was very good at capturing a feeling of confusion and dread. There's also a six page spread that should be shown to people to explain how to use jump scares effectively. I don't think a comic has had me on the edge of my seat like that except for some of Junji Itou's work.It was so well done, but it was a little short. I could have read about this surreal castle stay for much longer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/129862152-when-i-arrived-at-the-castle-paperback-april-16-2019](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/129862152-when-i-arrived-at-the-castle-paperback-april-16-2019) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
