Burning Your Boats: Collected Stories
Burning Your Boats: Collected Stories

Surreal, provocative tales challenging norms and perceptions.

If you've got an appetite for the extraordinary, Angela Carter's "Burning Your Boats" will sate it. Her mastery of language weaves tales that are as enchanting as they are unsettling, tapping into fairy tales, myths, and the subconscious. This collection is a treasure trove for those who relish in the blend of the macabre with the beautiful, and it's a perfect introduction or consolidation for any Carter enthusiast.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

As well as her eight novels, Angela Carter published four wonderful collections of short stories during her lifetime, and contributed stories to several anthologies. The stories were scattered amongst different publishers, and a couple of the volumes are now out of print. In Burning Your Boats they are gathered for the first time; this is a key collection and a major event for Angela Carter aficionados.
