The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories Angela Carter
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)

I've been set the task of illustrating "The Bloody Chamber & Other Stories" by Angela Carter, as part of the annual D & AD Awards. Information and facts collected through the various products on both rate and high quality. Angela Carter's 1979 masterpiece, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, is a For Books' Sake favourite that always merits revisiting. The winning prize was a commission to illustrate The Folio Society's edition of The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter. More literary examples also present themselves such as, in the short story context, Angela Carter's rewritings of fairy tales in The Bloody Chamber and other stories. This means I get to draw lots of wolves, which I am rather happy with. Her collection The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories was published in 1979 and won the Cheltenham Festival Literary Prize; the stories play with the conventions and concerns of traditional fairy tales. First published in France in 1938 and introduced to me by the wonderful Rikki Ducornet, the stories in Marguerite Yourcenar's Oriental Tales do more than just confront the power of desire, they promote it to immense and terrifying dimensions. And she roams the world in furious confusion, seducing and destroying everyone she encounters with vengeful innocence — a unity Yourcenar may have invented — the slave of her own craving to connect with other beings. The titular story “The Bloody Chamber” is a retelling of “Bluebeard” and a fine introduction to Carter's prose. Most likely fascinated in The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories, right?We are very pleased to offer you.
