Angela Carter

Angela Carter is one of my favorite british authors , she died of cancer in 1992 and was said to be good friends with other one of my favorite writers Salman Rushdie who wrote The Satanic Verses . Her books are well thought out fantastical tales of deceit , love and sometimes savages in victorian post apocalyptic nightmares.If you love to daydream you will love Angela Carter , here are my favorites.....good luck finding her in the bookstore,its been a treasure hunt over the years I have discovered her in book shops from Oahu to Seattle and San Francisco and San Luis Obispo.The hunt is still on.
