Beautiful graphics but didn’t care much for the actual story.

I really liked the stepmothers/witches POV. Thankfully I was already aware of pedophilia, necrophilia, soft porn, etc. otherwise I would've been very disturbed.

A retelling of Snow White, it was weird. I don’t know how I feel about this book as I didn’t like the queen as being the victim and Snow White being a vampire? I guess I don’t understand it.

My teacher introduced this short story to us. Initially only selected (punished) students are required to read and pass a reaction paper. My interest was piqued when she told us what it's about so I read it.

This adaptation of Snow White is in a league of its own. It's the kind of thriller that is set in a calm tone. No exaggeration of actions. It presents a chilly aura considering that the story mainly happened during the winter season. Things became really surprising halfway through the story -- the pedophilia and the little girl's action. The girl wasn't really introduced in depth and it left me wondering what she really is. Looking at the bigger picture the plot follows the dominant version of the story. I am left in awe at how Gaiman altered the details to result this version. As they say, a story is always different in everyone else's perspective.

A really cool and spooky twist on a classic tale, but tbh the art is was really made it for me.

It probably couldn’t be fleshed out as much since it was from the queens perspective and we only know what she knows, but still. Is Snow White just some kind of vampire demon? How’d that happen?

I don’t even think I want an explanation for the marks on the kings... body... upon death.

Also did the prince pay to f*ck a corpse in the woods?
