The Bloody Chamber...and other stories.

[alicepalace]

I am currently reading The Bloody Chamber (and other stories) By Angela Carter for an A2 level short literature project. I have to talk about it's Gothic nature as well as past and present audiences.

I was hoping people could share their thoughts and opinions and/or direct me to any critics and essays relating to Carter and her short stories.

Thanks in advance :)

If you like Carter's modern gothic style; you MUST
read The Magic Toyshop. Weird, disturbing, dark and funny. She also wrote a great revisionist telling of Little Red Riding Hood called In The [/I[I]]Company Of Wolves. Which casts the wolf as a sexual predator.
