description: From early reflections on jazz and Japan, through vigorous refashionings of vampires and werewolves, to stunning snapshots of real-life outcasts and the glorious but tainted world of 'the rich and famous,' this complete collection of Angela Carter's short stories gathers together four published books"Fireworks," "The Bloody Chamber," "Black Venus," "American Ghosts" and "Old World Wonders"with her early work and uncollected stories. 'A strange, compelling book... an undoubted success.' The New York Times
