Title: Nights At The Circus: Description:
'Angela Carter has influenced a whole generation of fellow writers towards dream worlds of baroque splendour, fairy tale horror, and visions of the alienated wreckage of a future world. In "Nights at the Circus" she has invented a new, raunchy, raucous, Cockney voice for her heroine Fevvers, taking us back into a rich, turn of the 19th century world, which reeks of human and animal variety'. "The Times".

Title: The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories: Description:
From the lairs of the fantastical and fablar and from the domains of the unconscious\'s mysteries....In tales that glitter and haunt, strange nuggests from a writer whose wayward pen spills forth stylish, erotic, nightmarish jewels of prose.
