It may just be a fairy tale set in the forest, but in literature the deep dark forest is a common representative of the feared elements within ... author René Capone manages to blend real-life concerns with (often metaphorical) fantasy elements, creating a story which looks to be extremely personal.
Capone deftly subverts expectations in often small, subtle ways, by playing with various elements such as a voice-over narration which manages to enchant and unnerve at the same time, or scenes where the kids’ world is shown as being full of both beauty and pain (the knives-carrying unicorn is of course a prime example of that). Capone is obviously able to see the two sides of the coin, and he brings that ability to all aspects of his comic.
