Book Review: The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman

It's Starting

With those words, The Glass Casket sends a delightful shiver down our spine. The cover promises a mystery filled with dark and evocative writing and lush imagery, and it completely does. The story is a fairy tale retelling of sorts, and brings to mind immediately the Grimm's fairy tale Snow White with it's glass casket, but it is much more than that. McCormick Templeman has taken symbols and themes from various tales and interwoven them into an dark and enchanting mix. This story is really a fairy tale lovers delight, especially for those who enjoy the darker, unsanitized versions.
