Angela Carter, 1968. This image was a Tweet from Dr. Dickon Edwards @dickon_edwards on the site that shall not be named. If I had one writer who has influenced me beyond any other, it would be Angela Carter. I taught her work in night school classes, and she visits me in dreams sometimes, dispensing writing advice in the form of puzzles I must solve.

"Dans la rue où les frères habitaient avec leur tante pendant l'enfance, on avait toujours l'impression d'être dimanche après-midi. Les rues de ce genre deviennent de plus en plus difficiles à trouver, même si elles étaient autrefois nombreuses dans toutes nos grandes cités - ces rues paisibles composées de maisons d'artisans identiques où le soleil caresse les pavés fêlés et la brique noircie avec une douceur singulière." trad. Anouk Neuhoff

Company of Wolves reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth. del Toro must have seen it. And I bet he liked it. Maybe he's credited it as an influence. Until I hear otherwise, I'm gonna just assume it was a strong influence. I know he will be a fan of . How could he not be?

I'd seen clips from Company of Wolves before. But today is the first time I've watched the film from start to finish. Not sure why I never stuck with it before. Based on a short story from a collection by Angela Carter which should have won the Booker Prize. Good director. And some wonderful cast. Carter was also a co script writer. Definitely worth two hours of my time. youtu.be/iGOzM2Urpoc

A Merry Winter Solstice to my fellow pagans, and a Happy birthday to all the werewolves out there!
A favorite film suggestion: "The Company of Wolves" (Dir. Neal Jordan, 1984), based on the Angela Carter stories and, if you are searching for a great book about the film: _The Company of Wolves_ by James Gracey in the Devils Advocates series about horror films.

Still new-ish to literature but these are some of the I've enjoyed

Twenty Days of by Giorgio De Maria. Unsettling political violence as cosmic horror. How did a book from the 1970s predict people getting fucked up by doxxing??

Ego Homini Lupus by Felker-Martin It's trigger warning: the book. Nasty, transgressive, gory. So embodied it makes having fresh inherently gross. Extremely good.

The Bloody Chamber by gothy and horny af

I have a lot of time for things that are... not for everyone. Currently reading The Reality of Being by Jeanne de Salzmann.

If you like baroque language, Angela Carter is for you:

"Her name itself whispered rumours of inexpressible sadness; the lingering sibilants rustled like the doomed petticoats of a young girl who is dying."
