I love the swell and the contrast here. The ghost image you brought forth offers a feel of cold peace and descension while the stark image behind her, the lurking darkness is just "awful" in the fact that it gives me chills. Like it's breaking a seal and you the viewer have No Chance to stop, all the while she is peacefully there as it reaches around. This brings to mind an uncanny feeling with a hint of dread! Just beautiful. Also the small image on the far right. It almost feels like the ghost image of a "hell hound" or some other dark natured creature that is getting out as well. Less noticed but still as real of a threat. Then again this may also just be a trick of the shadow and the light where the viewer fills in the horror with their own mind. 

As always Excellent Work! I am always taken aback by the detail that you put into things (even just a "quick sketch").
