Best books to learn Angela Carter, in order
Angela Carter is easiest to enter through her short fiction, where the fairy-tale rewriting and the baroque sentence-making arrive in concentrated doses. From there the novels open out — first the early gothic ones, then the wilder picaresque late books — and the essays and journalism close the loop by showing the arguments about sex, myth and class that the fiction dramatizes.
