This oddly spiritual story is a poetic retelling of Snow White. Here is Bianca with hair as black as night, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood. She looks just like her mother who died soon after Bianca's birth. The new queen suspects her stepdaughter may be responsible for a strange incurable wasting disease that plagues the land. She is right. Bianca is a vampire. |
