Snow, Glass, Apples by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This gorgeous graphic novel adapts Neil Gaiman’s original short story of the same name, a gothic, vampiric take on the classic tale of Snow White. It’s beautifully written, unexpectedly erotic, and absolutely riveting. Gaiman takes the well-known tropes of the Snow White story and molds each of them into something new and exciting. Colleen Doran’s art, inspired by the work of turn-of-the-last-century Irish artist Harry Clarke, is breathtaking and captures the feel of the story intimately and perfectly. I adored SNOW, GLASS, APPLES, and if you like Neil Gaiman’s dark, horror-tinged fantasies, you will too.
