Angela Carter – The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories

From the lairs of the fantastical and fabular and from the domains of the unconscious’s mysteries…

Lie the brides in the Bloody Chamber –
Hunts unwillingly the Queen of the Vampires –
Slips Red Riding Hood into the arms of the Wolf –
Pimps our Puss-in-Boots for his lustful master…

In tales that glitter and haunt – strange nuggets from a writer whose wayward pen spills forth stylish, erotic, nightmarish jewels of prose – the old fairy stories live and breathe again, subtly altered, subtly changed.

„A classic od short fiction, literally aglow with lyrical intensity, comic ingenuity…few forests are so deep, so seductive, as these magical entanglements” –Robert Coover
