The Lady of the House of Love (Electric Literature's Recommended Reading)

I love â€œThe Lady of the House of Loveâ€ for the luster of Carterâ€™s language; the tensile strength of the prose; its luscious, comical, fizzing theatricality. The handsome and wholesome boy on the bike, the decayed wedding dress, the bird in the cage, and the countess herself, who would like to be in a different kind of story from the one in which she eats rabbits and men. I am troubled by the dreadful clamor of the refrain: â€œnow you are at the place of annihilation, now you are at the place of annihilation.â€ - Kelly Link, author of GET IN TROUBLE

About the Author: Angela Carter (1940-1992) was born in Eastbourne, England. When she published her first novel, Shadow Dance, in 1966, she was immediately recognized as one of Britainâ€™s most original writers. Eight other novels followed: The Magic Toyshop, Several Perceptions, Heroes and Villains, Love, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman, The Passion of New Eve, Nights at the Circus, and Wise Children. Carter also published four collections of short stories: The Bloody Chamber, Fireworks: Nine Profane Pieces, Saints and Strangers, and American Ghosts and Old World Wonders. Her other writings include a book of essays called The Sadeian Woman, two collections of journalism, and a volume of radio plays. Carter also wrote the screenplay for the 1984 film The Company of Wolves, based on her short story. In 2008 the London Times ranked her tenth on a list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
