The Bloody Chamber

A very strong collection! Angela Carter writes so beautifully and I loved the visceral nature of her storytelling. I think listening to this on audiobook however dampened my reading experience and made it harder for me to lose myself in the individual stories. I think I will re read this collection in a physical format at some stage as I think I will really enjoy it when I have the time to devour it in one sitting. Overall though I though this was a fascinating and well crafted short story collection that intertwines themes of femininity, hunger, desire and lust and turns common fairy tales on their heads!
