June Book Club: The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories - Angela Carter

Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories is a collection of 10 gothic, feminist reimaginings of classic fairy tales, focusing on themes of sexuality, violence, and female empowerment.

Carter strips away the traditional morality of tales like Bluebeard, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Red Riding Hood, transforming passive victims into active, often vengeful protagonists.
