Oh my God this was so creepy. I'm fully in love with Gaiman's writing so I was expecting to love it but man, I'm not sure I have the words for how much he creeped me out in 5000 words. Snow, Glass, Apples is (as you might guess) a re-telling of Snow White in the viewpoint of Snow White's step-mother. It reminded me a bit of the little I've seen of Let Me In and it was that perfect balance of creepy and fantastical that Gaiman does so well. And the ending...I'm not sure what I was expecting but it sure as hell wasn't that level of fucked up magic. Highly, highly recommend this to anyone who's not afraid of some seriously twisted, creepy storytelling and best of all, it's free to read right now here:

This play was fascinating. Snow White is my least favorite Disney made story, however this improved version was just dark enough that it made the story way better! The stepmother isn't innocent but also isn't wicked, much like people in real life, not evil but not a saint. Snow White and the Prince weren't these idiotic couple that fell in love with a song and singing birds (yes I really hate the Disney plot) and the dwarfs weren't those friends that Snow White lived with. Honestly this one is worth a movie! Would read it again in a heartbeat (pun intended--read play if you don't understand)
