Red Snow: A Twisted Fairy Tale by Robert Wright Jr. is a thrilling re-imagining of classic fairy tales. In this captivating retelling, Snow White is not the passive princess we remember but a vampire with crimson lips and ebony hair. Red Riding Hood is no longer just a girl in a red hood but a fierce vegan werewolf, adding depth and complexity to her character. Cinderella is a novice witch struggling to harness her magical abilities, which adds an element of vulnerability and relatability. Fleeing her evil stepmother, Snow White meets Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, and they encounter packs of wolves, the seven dwarfs, the Royal Ball, and the classic battle between good and evil.
In Red Snow, Robert Wright Jr. seamlessly melds three classic fairy tales into a single paranormal adventure. His writing exudes a delightful blend of humor, clever banter, and a perceptual understanding of social issues, enriching the original storylines. This narrative is an enthralling and immersive experience, infusing renewed vitality into cherished tales. The protagonists are strong and work with a handful of exciting characters like the seven dwarf brothers, The Grim, the bald cat that protects Snow White, Prince Harold, and Mathilda, an old witch and Cinderella’s tutor, whom you may know as her Fairy Godmother. I liked the banter between The Grim and Red Riding Hood and a lot of situational comedy throughout the plot, such as when Snow White ate the poisoned apple. This is a refreshing and original read. It is steadily paced and focuses on the classic theme of love, except this story transcends gender and other barriers.
