Get Carter: The Bloody Chamber (Omnibus)
Five stories to gobble you up. Angela Carter's iconic collection of fairy stories starring Sophie Cookson and Rakie Ayola. Omnibus edition.
Five stories to gobble you up. Angela Carter's iconic collection of fairy stories, adapted for radio by Olivia Hetreed.
With their feisty heroines and orgiastic mash-up of beasts, shape-shifters and ghouls, Angela Carter's extraordinary tales are the most perfect example of her style, not just for her incomparable prose, but also in the dizzying twists and turns of perception, fantasy and myth.
Controversially influenced by De Sade, she embraced the erotic, explored our deepest and darkest urges, and subverted the roles of hunter and prey, master and mistress so that, instead of male sexuality, it is the female that becomes transgressive and powerful.
