As well as her eight novels, Angela Carter published four wonderful collections of short stories during her lifetime, and contributed stories to several anthologies. The stories were scattered amongst different publishers, and a couple of the volumes are now out of print. In BURNING YOUR BOATS they are gethered together for the first time; this is a key collection and a major event for Angela Carter aficionados. It brings some important work back into print, including THE BLOODY CHAMBER - her seminal collection of fairytales in which she rewrote stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast in her characteristically subversive, earthy way. This publication in 1995 will begin a major Angela Carter promotion; a celebration of the publication of her Collected Works, and a major push for the back list, with an order form for all of the Chatto, Vintage and Virago titles. This enticing, fat volume of Carter's surprising and inventive stories will be one of the most exciting events in the promotion.

Review:
"Carter's world is strange, dangerous, and beautiful."
--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

From the Publisher:
'One of the century's finest writer's Sunday Times
