After a night of heavy rain, the woman came across a ditch she had never seen before. In the ditch, laid the dead bodies of several young women. The woman had no idea who would do such a thing. It couldn't have been her mother, father or cousin because they're all dead already.<\/p>\n<strong>Get the Book:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emcarroll.com\/comics\/skin\/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Online<\/a>\r\n<hr \/><\/div>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Review\",\n\t\t\t\t\"datePublished\": \"2026-01-13T05:00:38+00:00\",\n\t\t\t\t\"description\": \"Out of Skin\",\n\t\t\t\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"Radical Dreamer\"\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/pastelgoth.net\\\/blog\\\/comic-out-of-skin\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"Out of Skin\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"author\": [\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"E.M.

I had read another graphic novel illustrated by E.M. Carroll and decided to check their art out, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they has a number of webcomics available to read on their website. <strong>Out of Skin<\/strong> is a short webcomic about a woman living alone in the woods who finds a mass grave filled with women&#8217;s bodies.<\/p>\n<p>The haunting prose and grisly art are magnificent. There were a few simple animations that added a nice little touch to the visual language of the story. Overall it is a great short by a wonderful artist that deserves more attention and praise. I am so excited to have found their work and will be reading through their catalog of comics in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They say this wood breeds <em>strange<\/em> things&#8230; But I live here&#8230; And I am not <strong>strange<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Content Warnings<\/h2>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Death, Murder <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Authors<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About E.M.
