Here are five stories of girls and women viewed through the eyes of their rag doll, Annabelle. Some are variations on more familiar tales. Little Red Riding Hood's wolf is transformed into a romantic hero who saves a girl from abusive parents, and "Beauty and the Beast" becomes the story of the forbidden love between two women. Elsewhere, we meet Paige, a 1920s flapper who falls in love with a ghostly stranger, and Catherine, who is driven insane by the ghost of her husband's first wife. Valentino's storytelling has a lilting gothic tone, and her heroines are beautiful and fragile. FSc's art is a delicate take on the Ameri-manga style, in which he balances cute with a sort of impressionism to keep the appropriate mood. A spooky recommendation for goth-subculture readers, especially. Tina Coleman
