So dark.
I'm familiar with 2 of the 3 tales but, wow, dark.
The title story is part compulsion, part obsession, part too much of a good thing. It is sad.

The last story, The Little Match Girl, is just a sad commentary on homelessness and
It's a junior graphic novel but the stories are dark and brooding. Not for the younger set but older elementary or middle school kids.
