Review:
"Black Venus displays the superbly witchy Angela Carter at her best... Whatever her subject Miss Carter writes like a dream - sometimes a nightmare. And as the voices call out, the images blaze, one is saved from an excess of fantasy by earthy realism, a sudden bark of humour" (Sunday Telegraph)
"The "radicalised" Carter tells her tales of terror ferociously, with black brilliance. Black Venus is shot with dazzling lightning. It is thunderous and magnetic; irresistible even when it seems most repellent" (Courrier Mail)
"Earthy, bawdy and bizarre in turn, there is a fine intelligence at work here" (Daily Telegraph)
"She was one of the century's finest writers, and her stories are among her finest works" (Lucy Hughes-Hallett Sunday Times)
"Angela Carter has language at her fingertips" (New Statesman)
