One of our most imaginative and accomplished writers, Angela Carter left behind a dazzling array of work: essays, criticism, and fiction. But it is in her short stories that her extraordinary talents--as a fabulist, feminist, social critic, and weaver of tales--are most penetratingly evident. This volume presents Carter's considerable legacy of short fiction, gathered from published books, and includes early and previously unpublished stories. From reflections on jazz and Japan, through vigorous refashionings of classic folklore and fairy tales, to stunning snapshots of modern life in all its tawdry glory, we are able to chart the evolution of Carter's marvelous, magical vision.

Review:

--Alison Lurie, The New York Times Book Review

"A treasure chest of literary and aesthetic experience ... mysterious, glamorous, beautiful."
--Carolyn See, The Washington Post

"Carter's ability to probe the secret places in the human psyche, where mysterious erotic longings and unacknowledged links with the unearthly lie buried, verges on the supernatural."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Her imagination was one of the most dazzling of this century."
--Marina Warner

"An amazing plum pudding ... you should not miss this book."
--Margaret Atwood, Toronto Globe & Mail
