#AngelaCarter on #VirginiaWoolf Just so good. I mean, she always surprises and delights me:

She shivered, in spite of the scarlet shawl....

"Who has come to sing us carols?" she said.

"Those are the voices of my brothers, darling; I love the company of wolves. Look out of the window, and you'll see them."

- Angela Carter, "The Company of Wolves"

UK peeps, Taking Pictures has Neil Jordan's Company of Wolves, adapted from Angela Carter's tales, on late this evening. Lush mixture of awakening sexuality, coming of age, repression, release and horror.

"The worst kind of wolves are hairy on the inside..."

Last RT is in honor of #AngelaCarter’s birthday, which I missed yesterday.
