You never feel in danger looking at Helquist's drawings, ever.ĭon't buy the re-release of the book, buy this one, the original. Its Stephen Gammells intensely haunting, brilliantly interpretive drawings that transformed these simple stories into primeval nightmares by sheer. Gammell has an almost minimalist approach, forcing you to enter the darkest and most demented recesses of your own mind to fill in the gaps, to finish the story. The amount of detail in his illustrations strips them of their affect. Helquist also likes to be overt, and interpret to a frustrating extent. The unwilling focus of a strangled-to-death girl, of shadowy figures in the mist. Helquist has a tendency to depict 'scenes' that are happening on the page, whilst Gammell, almost always places you, the reader, as the would-be victim.
