A chilling fantasy retelling of the Snow White fairy tale by bestselling creators Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran.

A not-so-evil queen is terrified of her monstrous stepdaughter and determined to repel this creature and save her kingdom from a world where happy endings aren't so happily ever after.

From the Hugo, Bram Stoker, Locus, World Fantasy, Nebula Award-winning and Sunday Times-bestselling writer Neil Gaiman (American Gods) comes this graphic novel adaptation by Colleen Doran (Troll Bridge).

'Like Ray Bradbury before him, [Neil Gaiman] writes lovely little horror stories, fairy tales and fantasies which are as familiar as they are fabulous, stories that are never quite what the reader expects...' A.V. Club

A good retelling of the classic Snow White tale (No, not the Disney one, the old grimm version).

Colleen Doran had too much freedom with the art though, as she mentioned in the end of the book. The art is great when it needs to be, but the nudity is excessive and unnecessary. It's one thing for it to be written, but the art turns this from being disturbing to me constantly thinking "did they really have to draw this part?"

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.
