Review:
Wow, what a creepy and fascinating collection of stories.
The writing in this book is what stands out the most to me; it's lyrical and captivating. I also quite enjoyed that the stories were loosely based of fairytales, though I thought perhaps there should have been a larger variety of it.
I think the strongest story of this book is definitely what gives it its title: The Bloody Chamber. It's the first story and, in my opinion, the best one.
This book is atmospheric, dark, mysterious and has just the right level of spookiness to it. I would highly recommend it if you enjoy short stories.
