A review by sophiejuhlin
Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter

3.0

"The Bloody Chamber", Carter's book of macabre fairy tales and gruesome feminist short stories changed my fucking life. I repeat: changed my Fucking. Life.

This book, after a spellbinding, insanely good first hundred pages, dissolves into weirdness and loses itself in its swirling, feverish (Fevverish?) storytelling. Three stars for just the first part.

Stopped exactly halfway through. Not feeling too upset if I miss anything after that.
