The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

I enjoyed this collection a lot. Carter’s versions of "Bluebeard," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Little Red Riding Hood," among others, were beautiful, lush, and dense to my out-of-practice English major eye. I got a lot out of these takes on some folklore classics. Evocative and meaningful, these are the kind of stories that benefit from multiple readings.
