Description

POISON is a beautifully illustrated re-telling of the Snow White story which takes all the elements of the classic fairytale that we love (the handsome prince, the jealous queen, the beautiful girl and, of course, the poisoning) and puts a modern spin on the characters, their motives and their desires. It's fun, contemporary, sexy, and perfect for fans of Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Snow White and the Huntsman and more.

Reviews

Whatever genre she's working in, Pinborough is well worth keeping an eye on - SFX

Pinborough really knows how to drag the reader into her books. Tightly written, tightly plotted and highly entertaining

Few writers blend mystery and the supernatural as well as Sarah Pinborough, but there are none who do it better. Quite, quite brilliant

Pinborough's stories have resonance. She understands how people tick. I always trust the ride, because I know I'll wind up someplace good
