Reviews
On Nov 11 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
Angela Carter (1940-1992), recipient of the W. Somerset Maughm Award, leaves us with a modern day classic vined around 19th century classics. She takes fairy and folk tales that were their own just-below-the-suface erotic, and recasts them as openly darkening adult erotica. At the hands of a masterful mistress such as Ms. Carter, the likes of, Little Red Riding Hood; Puss and Boots; Beauty and the Beast, and more, are shaped and sharpened to challenge the mind and stir the loins. This is a timeless wonderment for the fan and collector of adult erotica from a talent we may not see the likes of again. This was Angela Carter's 10th work.
