The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter

Based on several of the legends and fairy tales that many of us grew up with, Carter puts a new perspective and twist on each, even combining some. From damsels in distress to werewolves, this collection of short stories keeps the reader surprised even to the end.

I enjoyed reading these versions of the originals that I love. This book is better for older readers with the sexual content. Even with that, this book brings very interesting ideas and thoughts to these beloved tales.
