'The Bloody Chamber', by Angela Carter.
'From familiar fairy tales and legends - Red Riding Hood, Bluebeard, Puss-in-Boots, Beauty and the Beast, vampires, werewolves - Angela Carter has created an absorbing collection of dark, sensual, fantastic stories.'
I have been meaning to read all of the stories in 'The Bloody Chamber', by Angela Carter for a while now, but I have only just begun to read them. I have previously read one piece of short fiction from her collection in 'The Bloody Chamber' and other stories which is 'The Snow Child'.
I have always been fascinated by fairy tales or folk tales, which were read to me as a child, however, these short stories have a dark and sinister twist to them.
I am looking forward to see what 'The Blood Chamber' and other stories has to offer me and I will write a review on all the stories listed in the next coming weeks.
