SNOW GLASS APPLES: Once upon a time there lived a young princess with skin as white as snow, with hair as black as coal, with lips redder than blood. Most people think they know what happens to this young unfortunate girl. Most people are wrong. Tony-award winning actress Bebe Neuwirth (Chicago, Sweet Charity, and TV's Cheers) stars as a wise Queen who wants nothing more than to reign over her kingdom peacefully but is forced to match wits with an inhuman child who has an unnatural taste for blood.

While the angelic hosts labor to create the world and its workings, one of their number is mysteriously slain by one of their own. Raguel, Angel of Vengeance, is mandated by Lucifer to discover both motive and murderer in this holy dominion that had so recently known no sin.

I will listen to Two plays for voices over and over again. There is so much to understand and think about. I would not choose anyone else for the actors they were chosen to suit. I doubt if I will be able to put these audio cassettes back into circulation for a long time.

Meh, not so much. Both stories were, indeed, creepy. Snow Glass Apples put an interesting twist on a familiar story (along the lines of Gregory MacGuire, but more effectively and with about 30,000 fewer words). I must not have understood the Murder Mysteries one - II thought I was doing fine until the ending, which confused me. The stories weren't terrible, maybe just not my cup of tea.

Neil Gaiman is beyond excellent. These 2 stories (Snow Glass Apples and Murder Mysteries) that he rewrote as audio plays are creepy and fascinating
