Jason Furman's Reviews > Snow, Glass, Apples

This erotically charged, gory, inverted graphic story retelling of Snow White was very enjoyable and provocative. It is an illustrated comic-book like version of the Neil Gaiman short story (which I have not read) in which the step mother is good and Snow White is an evil supernatural creature who feasts on blood and continues to live even after her heart has been removed--and eventually comes to reclaim it and bloodily insert it back into her own body. The Queen's psychology, awareness of the conventional story, and being trapped in the situation is all well presented. And the artwork is very good but nothing like the beautiful Chris Riddell artwork in his collaboration with Neil Gaiman on The Sleeper and the Spindle which also retells Snow White (and sleeping beauty).
