Ever since I read Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty" novels, I have craved more adult fairytales. And it can't get better than this! Each story in Snow White, Blood Red -- the first part of the Snow White series -- has a dark and gothic undertone in it. And I marvel at the fact that the elements taken from Snow White are twisted and disarming -- thus, making this one of the most literary anthologies ever written. My favorite story is Patricia McKillip's "The Snow Queen" -- the brand of magical realism in the story is exquisite. "Snow White, Blood Red" is an excellent reading investment and I look forward to reading the other installments from this unique series. --from a review by Amazon user "ChicBookFriend" that says just what I would have said. :)
