Six-Gun Snow White is a 2013 fantasy novella by American author Catherynne M. Valente, retelling the story of Snow White in a mythical version of the American frontier, where she is born to a Crow woman and white man. It was published by Subterranean Press.
Publishers Weekly considered it "witty" with "complex reverberations", and lauded "the originality of the atmosphere" and "the simple pleasure of savoring Valente’s exuberant writing".[1] Kirkus Reviews praised Valente's "enjoyably distinctive voice", and the "fascinating details" of the setting, judging the whole as "engaging and delightfully written", but noting that the conclusion "rushes in unexpectedly".[2]
Six-Gun Snow White won the 2014 Locus Award for Best Novella,[3] and was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novella of 2013,[4] the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Novella,[5] and the 2014 World Fantasy Award—Novella.[6]
