Snow White, Blood Red is a collection of fairy tales for adults. It's interesting, for the most part, but not necessarily something to track down. There are, of course, a couple real gems, but eveything else was ok. The introductory articles were almost more interesting than some of the stories. It's nice to see fairy tales geared for an older audience (the way several of them used to be), but I can't claim much more than that.
On the other hand, if you run across J Horror Anthology Legends at your local video store, I can recommend that. Six short pieces of Japanese horror fiction. I've been reading a lot of short fiction lately it seems and watching it can be just as fun. There's something about the short story that I really enjoy. I suspect it's the fact that the story teller has to pay closer attention to what's being given. You get a much more succinct story that's focused on the important bits. There are a few more J Horror collections running around Blockbuster, I may have to call a truce with them and give them a go.
The kids had fun trick-or-treating. And there is far too much candy running around the house. Oh well. You may get to suffer through a few more pictures in the upcoming days...
