This book is a small graphic novel set in Spain, 1930's. This book includes 4 short stories that we're inspired by scary tales her family has told her. Throughout these short stories, death and darkness are very present. These tales tend to be true in many coastal areas in Europe.

I really enjoyed this book, mainly for the art style and theme. I felt that the scary and grim art style made the book even darker and Erie. I felt that the illustrations helped me understand the book more since they did explain what was going on in more detail. The story I enjoyed the most was The Air since it discussed depression and the loss of a loved one. I felt that the characters were very well developed, and shown in this book. I possibly will be re-reading this book in the future, and reading more books by this author.

Cool artwork, historically contextualized, but the stories are essentially half-written and finished with a little paragraph with the majority of the plot at the end of each chapter. I'm really not a fan of this format because it leaves the most interest parts of the stories as afterthoughts

Didn't download in time - thank you to the publisher for sending through, if I spot this in the library or in a store I will be sure to pick it up

The art style of this graphic novel was so beautiful. The story was very atmospheric and fun. Definitely a good read for anyone who is a fan of something a little simple and mysterious.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this eARC to review.

I really liked this! The art was great and each story within it was interesting. I liked how the author explained a little bit of each story. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes ghost stories or lore.

Tales of the Mist is a graphic novel that brings together myths and legends originating in Galicia such as the Santa Compañía or El Aire, stories that caused terror in the inhabitants of Spain in the years before electricity and other technological advances.

The novel is brief, but even so the author manages to portray complex characters in a few pages and at the same time capture the Spanish reality in the '30s, where fears of paranormal issues were added to fears of real life.

Through the art style, an atmosphere of great suspense with terrifying overtones is created. It is a similar style to Through the Woods by Emily Carroll and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. An art style that, in my opinion, reflects very well the feeling of tragedy, despair, fear.

I did not know any of the myths that are exposed here, so the reading was enriching and entertaining for me. In fact, I didn't stop reading until I finished it! It seems to me an original contribution because of how it portrays not so well-known stories, and in the way that it does so. Highly recommended!

3.5 Stars (I received an e-arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest)

I am conflicted with my feelings on this graphic novel, the art style is interesting and the stories are compelling. There are 3 different story lines but a couple of them have confusing endings that don't resolve. I think it wasn't bad it wasn't great either very, meh.

Going to be honest, I waited too long on this one and now it’s archived and I can’t find it anywhere else, even using the links provided by NetGalley. So 3 stars benefit of the doubt rating. If I ever see this one out in the wild I’ll give it a read and adjust my rating accordingly.

A beautifully illustrated book filled with folk belief and ghost stories from 1930's rural Spain. It was very interesting to learn what the older people told the younger generation during that time and how that has shaped the way they think and see the world.

A great way to learn of ghost stories/religious beliefs of 1930s rural Spain. It’s a bit reminiscent of Emily Carroll’s work. The illustrations are great in the detail but simplicity, and they have a bit of a spooky feel to them on their own.

Tales of the Mist is a book that has to be read with all the lights on. The stories were simple but chilling. The illustrator did a great job of capturing the horrific expressions and striking fear in the reader. A must-read on chilly winter nights. The stories will keep you awake.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publishers for this lovely book.

Wow — I was so blown away by the artwork in this book! I'm not a huge graphic novel fan, and it was definitely a little more difficult to read this on a digital screen, but it meant I could zoom in and look at the details of each illustration more clearly. I haven't read a lot of novels set in 30s Spain, so this was a breath of fresh air and I relished in the new perspectives it opened up. I loved the way Suarez created this eerie, but beautiful atmosphere with her art. I found each of the stories a little too short, but the art more than made up for it.

I normally stay away from scary books but the spooky atmosphere and art of this book pulled me in, the gorgeous dark art and world building, the spooky spirits, the old tales from grandmothers and ancestors, the culture, the scare all of it was so interesting to read and it did scare me for sometime,

a book meant for teenagers and adult and everybody,

Thank you NetGalley and Europe Comics with providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a great graphic novel outside of my usual type of read.. it was haunting and creepy and the illustrations were beautifully done. Who doesn’t love folklore and superstition. Things that go bump on the night. It reminded me of stories from my grandmother. My only critique is it left me wanting more— longer stories and more of them. A fantastic undertaking that can be enjoyed by all.

Folk tales from the author's own childhood in rural Spain inspired this genuinely creepy atmospheric collection of graphic shorts that all center around death or the afterlife in some way. Some are just creepy, others are sad, but all of them are interesting and surreal, and enhanced by cool black and white art that very much reminded me of monotone Edvard Munch.

What is fear? How do we learn about it? What does our community fears? This are some of the questions the author hopes to answer by sharing a series of folk tales of her Spanish hometown. Monochrome illustrations provide the forbidding atmosphere where darkness lurks inside each of us.

A great concept that caught my attention but did not fully reach it's fearful potential since I am unfamiliarized with the specific cultural folklore. Still an interesting experience to get into.

The graphics are what make this book. Atmospheric, eerie, and completely pull you in. The style of the graphics add much to the author's stories and the supernatural tales of the 30's. The stories have a gothic feeling to them with the small towns and the historical element. I also enjoyed the overlay of the Spanish folklore. What I struggled with is the feeling of being unfinished all the way through. They are meant to be short stories but I feel like they are to short, I wanted more and it was over just as soon as I started.

Thank you to NetGalley and Europe Comics for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

this book was good, had the potential to be one of my fave reads for this year, but perhaps because i've been recently fond of other genres that i found this not very much to my liking, still a solid read!

This is a great, spooky, quick read. The illustrations are well done and fit the dark tales. Would make for a fun afternoon read.

Such an expressive art style!
I loved this graphic novel for what it is, a short anthology of stories about spirits and creatures from Galician (Spanish) mythology.
Easy half an hour-read, spooky, atmospheric and informative.
