An interesting set of stories but not for me. I think they were just too short for me. Th artwork suited the stories conveyng a kind of eerie darkness but  the actual stories needed something else.

Now this sends me back in time when I was perhaps 3 and grandma used to tell me that unless I gulp down my food, ‘they’ will come and take me away as I used to stuff food into my mouth and stare at the telly. Tales of the mist portraits a bunch of horror stories back from the time when there used to be light chimneys and hard times. The first thing is the drawing style, Satrapi which I think perfectly goes with the theme. I don’t mind the pace if the story is actually good which it is. I have seen a lot of graphic novels struggling with what they want to tell the reader because it is actually hard to tell a story just by drawing. And so in extreme cases, it becomes more wordy than necessary. But for this one the words and the art seems to be in a perfect balance. Everything including the images helps you travel in time and places. I think it is informative as well regarding the deep-rooted mythical beliefs of rural areas. People who don’t like to read horror stories, I would still recommend this to you for its art style (I so much loved that) and don’t worry you won’t end up chewing your nails. I don’t think that’s the entire perspective of the book. I am gonna for my friends to read this.

Haunting and atmospheric. I quite enjoyed this graphic novel overall; quite honestly think it is impossible not to fall in love with the use of folklore and superstition in creating tension and atmosphere. The illustrations are absolutely stunning and the style fits the story so well. Alas, I was ultimately a bit underwhelmed and felt there was a certain je ne sais quoi missing. I'd still highly recommend this to any lover of horror and folkloric reads and I am definitely interested to see what else the authors has in the works for the future

I like that they show history of the supernatural being or legend as well as the short graphic story for each one

On the preface of this graphic novel, there is a discussion about how we need to capture fear and put it into a graphic form, and how the author suceeded in doing exactly that. I agree, because this book, albeit very calming tones and slow-paced, is able to chill me to the bone. The fact that these stories are based on the folklore and also the oral tradition added to that factor, and make for a richer way to tells the story that feels strangely familiar.

A marvelous, fantastic collection of folkloric horror stories told in intimate vignettes with rhythmic prose and lovely, haunting illustrations.

What an interesting ride this graphic novel gives. A series of short stories of a time in a small village in Spain in which the elders in the village told stories of the dead and their inflictions. I can see how the stories could scare the children because they are so unusual and unsettling. The black and white art is beautiful and creepy which adds to the fear. As soon as I finished I wanted to start again. Thanks #netgalley for sharing this book with me!

I enjoyed reading this book. It’s very creepy and has a lot of history within it. The black and white illustrations only add to this creepy vibe.

In Tales of the Mist, Suárez combines stellar art and eerie storytelling to deliver stories inspired by the supernatural. In five tales, the author explores legends and folktales passed down to her in or inspired by Galicia, Spain. From souls being taken, mysterious figures to avoid in forests, and mysterious deaths that people cannot explain, this collection is wonderfully eerie. 

I loved this collection for its creative art and interpretation of legends into stories to carry them to the reader. It was a pleasure to read through and the pages at the end of each tale explaining the inspiration added to a kind of  ghost story effect. While I'm new to the horror genre being explored through art, this collection was really effective in my opinion. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the release date to add this to my physical bookshelf!

Beautifuly written stories with amazing art work!! At the end of each tale there is a brief background along with some history which makes this perfect for someone who is not familiar with these stories to get just a little more. These stories explore grief and how death is personified in this culture. I would categorize this in horror not for any gore or violence but for the feelings that are beautifuly and subtlely conveyed throughout each tale.

The title and cover were what attracted me to this book. That is usually what catches my eye with stories. 
The short stories in this collection leave a sense of unease at the end of each one. The ending is not fully laid out and you can tell that more unknowns lay ahead. What makes this book so special is the sense of family and history that are behind these stories. They are not just imaginings of an active mind, they are a piece of history. I think it is worth the read just to be connected with those past people, that past place, the things that we as humans once feared.

This is great story collection that uses its illustrations as a complement to the storytelling instead of just the medium in which these are told. The stories are really good, none of them, in my opinion, are an explicit depiction of the horror or suspense/thriller genre, however, they use element of the later in a very smart way, leaving these stories in an eerie valley that's accentuated with the depictions in the illustration work. The only "negative" aspect I'd like to mention it's the pace, it is slower than I was expecting from a graphic novel, but not enough for it to be an inconvenience, it is an understandable decision taking into account the type of stories that are being told.

I can't read this graphic novel because it is not available to download through the  kindle app and it doesn't say that in the description.

How beautiful is this cover? I'm in awe!
I've actually never read a graphic novel before, but the description of this one sounded so good that I just had to pick it up. And I wasn't disappointed! The art was so beautiful, I loved the style and how it brought such a haunting, creepy atmosphere to the stories. I liked all the stories individually, but they also worked well as a collection as a whole.
It was really interesting to see the connections to Spanish folklore and how the author talked about that, it made the book seem very personal. This is a great quick read which feels creepy, but cozy at the same time. Great for dark winter days, in my opinion.

Tales of the Mist is a sinister graphic novel showcasing the forgotten or unheeded stories of a land full of mist. This would be the perfect light horror read for middle school students, though older students would enjoy it as well. The art itself is in black and white, creating an eerie feeling of dread. The stories range from spooky to terrifying, but a paragraph at the end of each helps explain the history or legend behind it. Tales of the Mist is well worth a read, especially if you want some spine-tingling stories. Tales of the Mist is out now! Thank you to Laura Suárez, Europe Comics, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for a review.

The graphics in this novel are beautifully haunting. The stories are very interesting and made me immersed myself into them from the start. Very highly recommended to read for a short, creepy read.

The dark and eerie drawings in this graphic novel really help to send shivers down your spine as you read these short stories. Utterly chilling. 
I really enjoyed the paragraphs after each story that gave you some insight into the origin of the stories.

The pacing and the art style made the stories come to life. They were just the right amount of both folk tale and ghost story. I would have liked each story to have an introduction rather than just an explanation at the end. I think some context to start would have made me feel more connected to the stories, but the artwork drew me in with its simplicity and details at the same time.

I received this book from NetGalley as an eARC in exchange for a review.

I just really didn't vibe with this graphic novel unfortunately. The art was spooky and cool but the story just couldn't hold my attention.

You judge a graphic novel first and foremost by the art. The drawings in this were lovely, and I want to print them and frame them. 
The stories themselves were very short but very eerie, but also not over the top; in short perfectly balanced. I loved the information about the stories we got in between chapters; they made them all the more poignant.
