Once upon a time, spooky stories weren't just for children, and that's what happened with "Angela Carter's Spooky Tales." This wonderful collection includes lyrical tales, gory tales, hilarious tales and raunchy tales from all over the world, from the Arctic to Asia - and there are no dim-witted princesses and sentimental fairies; instead we have beautiful maids and wizened crones, cunning women and misbehaving maidens, witches and midwives, bad aunts and strange sisters.
These remarkable stories celebrate strong will, dastardly deceit, sorcery and intrigue, and could only have been collected by the one and only, and deeply missed, Angela Carter.
Reader comments
The author Angela Carter's imagination opened my eyes. Her story style is unique and not a traditional fairy tale. Each story is full of surprises and surprises, allowing me to see a variety of fantasy characters from different cultural backgrounds. This reminds me of "One Thousand and One Nights", which is also a collection of stories full of mystery and fantasy. I think the author must be a very unique person to write such a unique story. This book is definitely worth reading!
This is a collection of fairy tales, and some of the stories in it are not good-looking. Fortunately, each story is marked with its location. If you look at the stories based on the location, you may discover the hidden customs and educational significance that existed in these places.
Very interesting fairy tale
Very good, the original culture and subconsciousness of human beings
