'The boldest of English women writers' LORNA SAGE <BR><BR>'Her writing is pyrotechnic - fuelled with ideas, packed with images and spangling the night with her starry language' OBSERVER <BR><BR>'She can glide from ancient to modern, from darkness to luminosity, from depravity to comedy without any hint of strain and without losing the elusive power of the original tales' THE TIMES <BR><BR>'This crazy world whirled around her, men and women dwarfed by toys and puppets, where even the birds are mechanical and the few human figures went masked . . .

Die blutige Kammer
Väter, Bestien, Werwölfe - die Frauen in Märchen haben seit jeher kein einfaches Los. In Angela Carters Kult-Nachdichtungen von etwa Blaubart, Der gestiefelte Kater oder Die Schöne und das Biest wird die traditionelle Rollenverteilung nicht nur umgekehrt, sondern in die Luft gejagt. Hier werden Frauen zu Tigerbräuten und Schöne zu Biestern, Erlkönige mit dem eigenen Haar erwürgt und Werwolfsgroßmütter von ihren Enkelinnen erledigt. Die Antiheldinnen und Heldinnen dieser Märchen sinnen in gleichem Maße auf Rache, wie sie nach Liebe streben. Angela Carter ist die Godmother der feministischen (Horror-)Literatur. Ihre abgründig-erotischen Neuerzählungen von Märchen bestechen auch mehr als fünfzig Jahre nach ihrem Erscheinen mit unvermittelter Wucht.
