Snow White Zombie Apocalypse by Brenton Lengel

Twitter: @BrentonLengel; @SnowWhiteBones




Snow White awakens to Prince Charming's kiss...28 days later. The first trade of the Ringo Award-nominated dark fantasy series.


This is a story unlike any other: Snow White awakens to true love's kiss… twenty-eight days after the zombie apocalypse! With the seven dwarves dead, the quintessential fairytale princess must join forces with her polyamorous Prince Charming and his tough-as-nails paramour, Rapunzel, to wage a losing battle against death itself. SWZA is a story of deep woods and old magic mixed with a healthy dollop of blood, sex, kung fu, and gender politics. Way more than zombies and fairytales as usual.
