I am a huge fan of retellings, especially retellings that focus on a villain’s possible origin story, so Heartless was a fun and interesting read.

I love retellings, and I love the Arabian Nights, and this is a really good Arabin Nights retelling with a smart and strong heroine.

Salman Rushdie recommended The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories in Books (curated)

The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories
Helen Simpson, Angela Carter | 1998 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"Carter’s sensual, erotic retellings of fairy tales and folk tales blend Snow White, Red Riding Hood, and Beauty (of “Beauty and the Beast”) into shape-shifting creations that are Carter’s own. A girl attacked by a wolf can love the wolf or even become a wolf herself; the beauty can be beastly, too."

A classic
I still love this story after countless readings and about as many reboots. Few are unfamiliar with the story, which lends itself well to contemporary retellings. But I enjoy revisiting the original now and then. It's a very quick read, and one of my favorite ghost stories and tales of redemption. If Scrooge can change, who can't?

When I heard of this book, I screamed: fairytale retellings, fandom culture, and cute romances, all in one??? Sign me the FUCK up. This book was incredible, and so, so, so sweet. It's a cute slowburn, a bit of anger, a lot of humor. A lovely, well-written story that I truly really love. The characters are sweet and relatable, and you tend to understand some of their struggles. I loved this book so, so much, and honestly? You guys should too.
