This might interest fans of Angela Carter: a new play by Claire Parker and LynchPin Theatre based on the life and writings of 19th-century writer Mary de Morgan, whose fairy tales frequently subverted the genre.

🌹 Angela Carter's Book of Wayward Girls and Wicked Women 🌹 These are subversive tales and all have one thing in common; the wish to restore adventuresses & revolutionaries as models for all women. An essential if you ask us. Available exclusively: brnw.ch/21wOtk5 🍏

Here's me trying something new... My first Substack post, where I review Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber", a book that quickly became one of my all-time favorites. Old fairy tales filtered through a modernist gothic perspective. Simply perfect! @ducabral/p-151498798" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@ducabral/p-15…

On this day in 1988, the television adaptation of Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop, directed by David Wheatley, was first broadcast on @ITV Very pleased to have just had the gorgeous poster by Corinna Sargood framed and hung up at home.

Hungry for a real scare? ‘The Uncanny Gastronomic: Strange Tales of the Edible Weird’ explores themes of body horror, consumption and strange eating, and includes a feast of tales from masters of the macabre such as Shirley Jackson, Angela Carter, Virginia Woolf and Franz Kafka.

Packing up my library in preparation for moving house, so thought I'd share my Angela Carter shelves. I remember, not that long ago, when my collection didn't even run to a single shelf.

This sounds great!

This book critically explores her legacy and showcases the current state of Angela Carter scholarship. It gives new insights into Carter’s pyrotechnic creativity and pays tribute to her incendiary imagination in a reappraisal of Angela Carter’s work, her influences and influence.

‘Beside the magic realism of Angela Carter, another Virago author, Barbara Comyns’s work seemed prescient. Its combination of raw female sexuality and unexplained violence inhabited the same imaginative space as the paintings of Paula Rego.’ @misspegler: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

@Jackrabbit_LX @EscoladeMulhere Apologies for the misunderstanding. Still sounds and looks amazing!

@AngelaCarterFan @EscoladeMulhere It's not and adaptation of the story, though. It's really Angela's Radio Play, now on stage. :-)

A new theatre adaptation of Angela Carter's story The Company of Wolves by @EscoladeMulhere is about to premiere in about a week's time in Lisbon, Portugal! Teaser trailer: youtu.be/WEOg_9HMJLk?si…
