Now this is a Snow white story I can get behind

Story number 2 is worth the buy in itself. very unique and crazy version of snow white

F'dup fairytales

No surprise that Neil Gaiman's Snow Glass Apples is that stands out. There is also a surpassing beautiful take on the Red Shoes as well.

really interesting selection of short stories

short stories and especially interesting in the horror genre. this collection had some really interesting takes on fairy-tales as well. recommended for horror fans

Many of these stories were creepy AF!

I can't say I disliked anything about the experience. The stories were creepy, some more than others. The narration was spot on.

very clever stories told well

It's remarkable how truly good writing can pull a person in and mesmerize them. I loved every one of these stories. Some are clever in their underlying concept. Others are intriguing metaphor. Every one was very engaging and satisfying.
The narration was top notch as well.
Now I need to listen to/read the first volume in this set. (These are all short stories so the sequence of reading does not matter.)
