Book #26
4.5/5
This graphic novel is a retelling of the classic Snow White, but told by the queen. In it, Snow White is not the innocent and kind girl we know from the original story. Definitely not suitable for children (scenes of erotic nature). The illustration style is very beautiful, and very different than in most comics.

I wanted to like this book. But it is so dark and not my cup of tea at this time. I give it three stars for the beautiful imagery. And i would suggest it if you like a dark retelling of Snow White.

ShyBookOwl This actually sounds right up my alley so thx for posting!! 3y
ShyBookOwl I actually just bought and read it through Kindle lol I loved it, but I see what you mean. Very dark 🖤💨 3y

This was a gorgeous book! The illustrations were absolutely stunning! I need to get this book for my shelf.

This was an interesting retelling of Snow White. Snow White was actually the villain while the queen was the good character. I would like to have read more about Snow's background as to how she was a vampire and what was that dark liquid between her legs?

My first graphic novel. A very different telling of the fairy tale of Snow White from the wonderfully dark mind of Neil Gaiman. Great illustrations by Colleen Doran with Gaiman's twisted tale of Snow White. Loved the styling of the pictures with a Art Noveu twist

The story of Snow White reimagined with the queen as the protagonist and Snow White as a vampire. Fantastic idea, as her description of black hair, white skin, and red lips is very vampiric. The artwork in this was absolutely stunning and I now want a physical copy. #screamathon2020

This is a creepy but not horrible scary version of Snow White. The art is phenomenal, and while the story is creepy; it is not truly horror, and the way the story is told is an interesting version. 4/5 stars, read this if you enjoy dark fairy tales and deco art. I can‘t even do a summary w/o giving away a lot, let‘s just say that it‘s got some witchcraft, some vampires, and some of the best art I‘ve seen in a graphic novel.

Avanders I like both of those things! 😁 Glad I‘ve already got this on my kindle 👏🏽👏🏽 5y

Woah. Gorgeous gorgeous artwork helps tell this Snow White story as only Gaiman could write it. Very dark, twisted, sexual... and where the stepmother is maybe not as evil as her stepdaughter. Sorry for the Kindle glare.

The artwork in this graphic novel is extraordinary. A different take on the Snow White story - for older readers only in my opinion.

A thoroughly disturbing and adult version of Snow white. 😲 Gorgeous artwork.

I repeat, not for children or young teens.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Pretty cover!! 5y
Vansa Didn't like this one at all, I thought it was very fetishistic. 5y
Leniverse @Vansa There were a couple of things that gave me pause and felt a bit gratuitous, but the older versions of the fairytale has some horrific parts. I always thought the prince was dodgy, even in the sanitised Disney version. I like the way this one was flipped, and the layout and art style. 5y

Such beautiful artwork! And I love the idea behind this retelling. I‘m a huge fan of Gaiman, and this is probably my least favorite of his work in terms of writing, but it‘s still pretty cool.

Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors. I love most of his work, and like a few pieces.

It's rare that I intensely dislike any of his work. Unfortunately, this is one of those cases. This is the second time I've read this story—I wouldn't have picked this up, had I remembered.

The artwork in this graphic novel edition is stunning.

Tweaking the fairy tale I've known and adding elements of Gothic horror, Neil gave me a brand new and darker way of looking at this story and I love that. I love how even as I pieced it together, I was still looking forward to the writing which didn't disappoint.⁠

Colleen's artwork was a beautiful backdrop against Neil's retelling of Snow White that haunts me in the best of ways.⁠

tpixie Lovely cover. 5y

Interesting, and a little bit terrifying, take on the Snow White story. The artist writes that she deliberately changed some of her original art because she and Gaiman didn‘t want this book to appeal to children. It‘s not a kid-friendly story, but it‘s a lovely book.

Gaiman spins the traditional tale of Snow White in a whole different way, not one you would have imagined. It‘s rather melancholy and frightening at the same time. Stunning artwork to feast your eyes on. 👍

This book was stunningly beautiful and incredibly creepy. I'm not normally particularly susceptible to book-related nightmares, but this one gave me nightmares.

effani Litsy's square cropping forced me to cut the artist's name off the bottom of the photo, but the art makes this book at least as much as the writing, so credit is due to Colleen Doran. I definitely don't want to minimize her contribution. (edited) 5y

Wow! What a twist turn on this fairy tale. The dialogue was a bit odd for me and a bit too much sex I wasn't expecting. But the illustrations were utterly beautiful. Surprised to find this one on Hoopla app. 🤪🤔❤👍

The art is absolutely stunning. Tall art nouveau panels, decorative patterns, flowly, bold lines, beautiful faces, bodies, hair. Scenes blend. Worth reading just for the art.
I did not like the story. Snow White is an evil vampire, and the queen is good. However, Gaiman concentrates on the horror and the sex, so this becomes just an erotic, gory vampire fantasy. No character development or meaning. Too self serving for my taste. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

GrilledCheeseSamurai I dunno. An erotic, gory vampire fantasy focusing on horror and sex sounds pretty incredible to me? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️😂😉 5y
Gezemice @GrilledCheeseSamurai I know many people like that. I just don‘t care for it. 5y
