A review by cinnamonmarti
The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter

challenging dark medium-paced

• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.0

Dark, sensual, labyrinthine. This was my first Angela Carter and I must say I'm in awe of her prose. Every word sounds carefully chosen, yet never pretentious or useless.

My favourite stories were The Bloody Chamber, Puss-in-Boots, The Lady of the House of Love and The Company of Wolves.
