Chamber of Secrets: The Sorcery of Angela Carter

Nice Paris Review essay on Angela Carter’s fairy-tale inspired writing, in particular, the short story collection The Bloody Chamber.

My cat is a snow queen …
White as starlight, twice
As cold.
She eats
For breakfast, hearts;
For supper, northern lights.
