ABOUT THE BOOK
The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter
The Bloody Chamber is an astonishing collection from a virtuoso writer. Angela Carter’s masterly reworking of ‘Bluebeard’s Castle’, a bawdy ‘Puss-in-Boots’ and a startling version of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ are all darkly sensual, subversive takes on traditional fairy stories, as shocking today as when the collection first appeared in 1979. These are Gothic tales, cruel tales, tales of wonder, tales of terror, fabulous narratives that deal directly with the imagery of the unconcious, with narratives suggested by traditional Western European fairy tales.
To her readers’ delight, Carter found she had conjured up an exotic new hybrid: ‘My intention was not to do “versions” or, as the American edition of the book said, horribly, “adult” fairy tales, but to extract the latent content from the traditional stories.’
‘One of the century’s greatest writers’ Sunday Times

JUDGES
Angela Barrett has illustrated over thirty books for children and adults. Winner of the W H Smith prize for The Hidden House and runner-up for Snow White, Angela has also taken part in numerous group shows and had a one-woman exhibition in London in 2000. As Joanna Carey wrote in the Guardian, ‘There is a stillness and a quiet atmospheric intensity to her illustrations which appeal across a wide range of understanding. She doesn’t simplify things – on the contrary, she both assumes and respects the intelligence of her readers – and her richly allusive work, full of detail and symbolism, invites and rewards as much time and investigation as you care to give it.’
Flora Craig has been the Project Director of the House of Illustration since 2007. A History of Art graduate from Edinburgh University, she has extensive experience of leading visual arts organisations and has worked at Modern Art Oxford, Camden Arts Centre and the Crafts Council.
