Resumen del Editor
These are two original plays for voices from the critically-acclaimed, best-selling, and award-winning author of American Gods.
In Snow Glass Apples, once upon a time there lived a young princess with skin as white as snow, with hair as black as coal, with lips redder than blood. Most people think they know what happens to this young unfortunate girl. Most people are wrong. Tony-award winning actress Bebe Neuwirth stars as a wise queen who wants nothing more than to reign over her kingdom peacefully but is forced to match wits with an inhuman child who has an unnatural taste for blood.
In Murder Mysteries, a mystery noir set in heaven's City of Angels before the fall, the first crime has been committed. It is an awful one. While the angelic hosts labor to create the world and its workings, one of their number is mysteriously slain by one of their own. Brian Dennehy stars as Raguel, Angel of Vengeance, who is mandated by Lucifer to discover both motive and murderer in this holy dominion that had so recently known no sin.

Historia
In a village in ancient Norway lives a boy named Odd, and he's had some very bad luck: His father perished in a Viking expedition; a tree fell on and shattered his leg; the endless freezing winter is making villagers dangerously grumpy. Out in the forest Odd encounters a bear, a fox, and an eagle - three creatures with a strange story to tell. Now Odd is forced on a stranger journey than he had imagined, a journey to save Asgard, city of the gods, from the Frost Giants who have invaded it.

You may think you know this story. There's a young queen about to be married. There are some good, brave, hardy dwarfs; a castle shrouded in thorns; and a princess cursed by a witch, so rumor has it, to sleep forever. But no one is waiting for a noble prince to appear on his trusty steed here. This fairy tale is spun with a thread of dark magic, which twists and turns and glints and shines.

Historia
A delightfully funny, fantastically inventive collection of twenty unearthed short stories by Sir Terry Pratchett, the award-winning and bestselling author and creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld fantasy series. These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found—were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans.

A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Historia
When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

One of my favorite audiobooks ever.
Wow! Neil Gaiman, to me, is the best writer alive today. He may be one of the best writers ever. This is a treat. I had read Snow Glass Apples before, but listening to the whole Audio production with Bebe Neuwirth as the Queen made it even better. I've read Smoke and Mirrors and I remembered the first part of the Murder Mysteries story as a real-life anecdote that Gaiman lived when in LA. Either I'd never read the fictional story, or I had completely forgotten, but I doubt it. It's fantastic. Every word, every character, every dialogue... the whole production, casting, production, music and, of course, Gaiman's prose, receive five ginormous stars from me.

I truly love Gaiman's descriptions, his plot twists, and how he never talks down to the reader! It gives us something to figure out.

Masterpiece
This was one of the first audiobooks that I listened to and, after 15 years, I still listen to it every once in a while. The second play, “Murder Mysteries” helps me sleep at night! I wish Brian Dennehy would narrate more audiobooks. His voice is melancholic and soothing.
The first play is an entertaining, macabre take on a classic Disney story. The second blends religion, noir mystery, scifi, romance (maybe?). As a testament to Neil Gaiman’s genius, it all blends together as very entertaining stories that reward multiple listens. I wish there were more, maybe Raguel the Angel of Vengeance, going around and solving mysteries. Haha.

One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to….
First story was predictable only because everyone knows the trajectory of the tale, but it has an interesting twist. The second story on the other hand had me park the car in a supermarket parking lot so that I could give it my full attention. I don't think I ever did that for any other audiobook.
Though all of the performances were brilliant, one of the characters in the second story is supposed to be English, yet all I could hear is a slight southern accent. I just couldn't shake off how my brain kept thinking that the guy is from Savannah, Georgia. LOL. (Sorry!!!)
It doesn't matter what accent I was hearing (or couldn't hear), download this audiobook folks. You will not be disappointed.

Loved "Snow Glass Apples"! Confused by 2nd story.
Absolutely loved "Snow Glass Apples"! Bebe Neuwirth did a brilliant job as the queen. I was riveted. Neil Gaiman's writing is poetic and beautiful, like always.
Was really confused and sometimes bored by "Murder Mysteries." I sort of get what he's doing with his tale of angel murder in heaven before the fall of Lucifer, but I didn't see how the second angel story related to the first story of the British narrator in LA. The ending was too ambiguous for me. I see many Internet interpretations, but it's not satisfying. Liked all Gaiman's abstractions, but they were also too confusing for me to enjoy as much as "Snow Glass Apples."

I Love this Author
Neil Gaiman is an absolute treasure of a writer. I could say he takes familiar stories and reworks them from unique perspectives. But that would be a gross understatement. These "plays" have a really high "Oh My God!" count.
But I was disappointed with these recordings. They come from the sci-fi channel's original series called "Seeing Ear Theatre", which is published on their website. The problem is that there is an awful lot of "production noise" (music, background sounds, etc) which is intended to add to the ambience of the performance. Unfortunately, on my Otis player the noise tended to obscure the dialogue.
So here is my suggestion. Buy this recording for the pleasure of listening to it on some really good speakers on your PC. The performances are truly wonderful.

Mixed review
The first story was well written, but I figured out the retelling pretty quickly, so the last line, which I guess was supposed to be a zinger, wasn’t. The second story, on the other hand, had me enthralled from the beginning and still does! Great acting for both stories.
