Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales
Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts.

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.

The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
The transformation of Desiderio's city into a mysterious kingdom is instantaneous: Hallucination flows with magical speed in every brain; avenues and plazas are suddenly as fertile as fairy-book forests. And the evil comes, too, as imaginary massacres fill the streets with blood, the dead return to question the living, and profound anxiety drives hundreds to suicide.Behind it all stands Doctor Hoffman, whose gigantic generators crack the immutable surfaces of time and space and plunge civilization into a world without the chains – or structures – of reason. Only Desiderio, immune to mirages and fantasy, can defeat him. But Desiderio's battle will take him to the very brink of undeniable, irresistible desire.

The Magic Toyshop
'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 . . . She was in the night once again, and the doll was herself.' <BR><BR>One night Melanie walks through the garden in her mother's wedding dress. The next morning her world is shattered. Forced to leave her rural home, she is sent to London to live with relatives she has never met: gentle Aunt Margaret, mute since her wedding day; and her brothers, Francie, whose graceful music belies his clumsy nature, and the volatile Finn. Brooding over all is Uncle Philip, who loves only the puppets he creates in his workshop, which are life-sized - and uncannily lifelike.
