49. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter and twisted Gothic fairytales to read in one sitting

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today Chelsey and Sara are discussing</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bloody Chamber</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Angela Carter. This collection of twisted, Gothic fairytales is perfect for fans of</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Rebecca</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Jane Eyre</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, or Edgar Allan Poe. We’re keeping this episode spoiler-free, though we do discuss specific aspects of several stories. We loved connecting this collection across literary movements, explaining the heroine’s journey, and (as always) recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic, including short story and poetry collections.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow Novel Pairings on</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/novelpairingspod/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://twitter.com/NovelPairings"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Twitter</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><a href="https://libro.fm/membership/new"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Use our Libro.fm affiliate code</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">NOVELPAIRINGS</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to get an audiobook subscription and support independent bookstores.</span></p> <p><a href="http://novelpairings.substack.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Subscribe to our weekly newsletter</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to get updates and behind-the-scenes info.</span></p> <p><strong><em>Skip to the pairings with this timestamp: [35:15]</em></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shop the pairings with our affiliate links below:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Books mentioned:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780143107613"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Bloody Chamber</span></a> <span st
