Description

Angela Carter was a storytelling sorceress, the literary godmother of Neil Gaiman, David Mitchell, Audrey Niffenegger, J. K. Rowling, Kelly Link, and other contemporary masters of supernatural fiction. In her masterpiece, The Bloody Chamber—which includes the story that is the basis of Neil Jordan’s 1984 movie The Company of Wolves—she spins subversively dark and sensual versions of familiar fairy tales and legends like “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Bluebeard,” “Puss in Boots,” and “Beauty and the Beast,” giving them exhilarating new life in a style steeped in the romantic trappings of the gothic tradition.

Der Schreibstil war eine 10/10. Manche der Geschichten fand ich toll, andere wiederum nur meh.

Bekannte Märchen, die etwas umgeschrieben sind. Nichts was man nicht schon mal gelesen hat. Was ich sehr gerne mag, sind die poetischen Vergleiche. Viele wunderschöne Naturbeschreibungen und die Zartheit von Vögeln.

Mir gefällt wirklich nur eine Geschichte, die Vampiranklänge hat. Alles andere ist ... Verstörend. Ich muss das englische Original Mal lesen, ob es dann besser ist. Feminismus finde ich aber nicht.

One of my eternal favorites. Beautiful, intricate, slightly anachronistic style of writing, which is always perfectly in place and never ever pretentious.
