Eerie! Angela Carter’s writing style is swoon-worthy, so rich and sensual. Dark and foreboding, these are the types of short stories that linger in the brain long after you’ve finished reading them. My favourites were “The Bloody Chamber”, “The Tiger’s Bride”, “Puss-in-Boots”, and “The Lady of the House of Love”
Moderate: Body horror, Emotional abuse, Sexual assault, Violence, Gore, Murder, Injury/Injury detail, and Blood
