The history of the town and its magic is steeped in trauma. Now, for The Low Low Woods #5 she switches gears and tells the story of the witch and by the same token, the story of Shudder-To-Think. The opening begins with “Sometimes you have to listen to someone else’s story.” For the last four issues Machado has intimately crafted the relationship between El and Octavia, taking time to build out their story and their connection to the supernatural of the town. Now, in The Low Low Woods #5, Octavia and El’s search for their missing memories comes to a head when the town’s terrible secrets are revealed at last. This revelation is the strongest part of the issue but we also see the girls flee skinned men attacking them, seeking refuge with the town witch. Their pleasure and their pain linked to one another. For those needing to catch-up however, issue four saw El and Octavia’s paths converge in an unexpected and bizarre way as the two realize that their experiences are connected through their bodies. While a lot of time has passed since the last issue came out, The Low Low Woods #5 is easy to read, with Machado showcasing how to write a story that is always aware of what came before it. Written by Carmen Maria Machado, with art by Dani, colors by Tamra Bonvillain, and letters by Steve Wands, The Low Low Woods #5 ups the ante for the series by revealing more of Shudder-To-Think’s history.
