Burning Your Boats: Collected Short Stories | 
“To these upland woodsmen, the Devil is as real as you or I. More so; they have not seen us nor know that we exist, but the Devil they glimpse often in graveyards, those bleak and touching townships of the dead where the graves are marked with . . . small, votive offerings, little loaves, sometimes a cake that the bears come lumbering from the margins of the forest to snatch away.”
It‘s been a long time coming.... #currentlyreading
I read a short story by Angela Carter for a college class, can‘t remember what story or anything about it, but I remember I loved it and wanted to read more of her. -Becca

I probably post this book every time there's talk of #shortstories but, you know, Angela Carter! This book contains four collections plus early works and three otherwise uncollected stories. Also, the cover of my edition is so fabulously unapologetically vulgar. It's perfect.
pickWeird, strange, wonderful, feminist, feral, funny, gross, erotic, sensual, magical, fantastical, mythic. Angela Carter may be my favorite short story writer.
I'm tired and ready for bed... But I see that there's one more photo challenge!
Must... do... photo... challenge...
I don't have the words to do justice to this collection of short stories except to tell you that it's fantastic, bizarre, grotesque, magical; please read it. #shortstorycollections #ReadingWomenMonth
This book contains all of Angela Carter's short stories. All of them! Including some that are not in any of her other collections. And how perfectly Carter-esque isn't that cover? ❤️ Definitely one of my favourite books of short stories, ever. #READATHONSTORIES

Cool book and cover alert 🚨. It's been awhile since I read this gem. With the wonderful cover and a new biography about her that I've heard raves about coming out I thought it was time to bring it back.
Welcome to our discussion of Angela Carter's first short story and the last of our #ghostsoflitsy short stories, round one! What did everyone think of "The Man Who Loved A Double Bass?" How does it handle the themes of obsession? This is personally one of my favorites - it's so weird and just so creepy/haunting at the same time!
Announcing our first three short stories for #ghostsoflitsy ! I tried to pick a few that were more spine tingly than anything (and the Carter is plain eerie). Both the James and the Hawthorne are public domain, and the book here has the Carter. Again, this is just for fun, so read one, read them all! I'll edit this post with links a little later. I figure we'll aim to discuss the James on Wednesday. #scaretober
Woman Crush Wednesday! I can never resist a good hashtag! I still need to finish this one, but Carter was so important when finishing my creative writing thesis in 2014. I love her ability to merge the sensual with the uncanny, as if it's something we're not meant to see. It's powerful magic!
