I’ve mentioned the short story “Snow, Glass, Apples” before – it’s both one of Neil Gaiman’s best, most pointed short pieces and one of the most successful of the Ellen Datlow/Terri Windling-inspired burst of revisionist fairy tales from the early 1990s.
As so often with successful things, it’s part of different clusters – all those anthologies of nasty fairy tales, first, and then more recently an odd program that seems to be trying to turn every one of Gaiman’s best stories into individual graphic novels. (See How to Talk to Girls at Parties and Troll Bridge ; I’m pretty sure there have been several others that I missed.)
So, in 2019, Colleen Doran adapted “Snow, Glass, Apples” (the short story) into the standalone graphic novel Snow, Glass, Apples – which is what I’ve just read. Like most of the “Neil Gaiman Library” and similar projects that I’ve seen,...

It’s been a difficult year for the publishing industry, as global supply chain issues and labor and paper shortages have led to delays. But many wonderful and nerdy books have made it over those obstacles to make it into the world and into our eyeballs and brains. As we reflect back on 2021, here are the books—from horror to fantasy to science fiction—that meant something to Den of Geek staff and contributors over the past year, as well as Den of Geek readers’ choice for the best book of 2021.
The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix
2021 has seen something of a slasher renaissance in film, with the Fear Street Trilogy, Candyman and Halloween Kills—and, true to form, the book world is right on trend. Grady Hendrix’s latest focuses on a group of women whose lives were changed in their teens when they became the focus of real life serial killers.

Our book section contributors list up the books we're most looking forward to this fall season — from the spooky to the cozy.
There's never a bad season of the year for reading. Whether it's winter, summer, spring, or fall, there's a reading habit that goes oh-so-well with the season. But there's something about fall—when the leaves are changing (at least in some parts of the world) and the nights are getting longer—that makes me want to curl up with the coziest of books or the most deliciously creepy short story we can find.
