I’m conflicted about this book because the writing is beautiful and so descriptive. You can literally see and feel everything that Angela Carter is writing. However, some of the content (even though I’m aware that the purpose of this book is to be discomforting) is so uncomfortable to read like The Snow Child. What was that?

Read through the trigger warnings carefully the book is very thought provoking and enjoyable to analyse but the triggering content is prevalent throughout.pollydye's review against another edition
