I have her collection of radio plays! Beautifully envisaged - every one! What I want to know is - when will a film or teleseries be made of her stories in "The Bloody Chamber"? That could be magnificent in the right director's hands - a woman, of course! Calling Julie Taymour ...

Happy Birthday, Angela Carter - your stories whispered fiercely to the writer inside me decades ago. "Stop hiding in your journal" you said. "Write how you want to write." It took time, but I did & I am. I am a woman, writing. #Feminism #gothic #fairytale #amwriting

[Angela Carter Online @AngelaCarterFan]

We've all read The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, Nights at the Circus, and Wise Children. But Angela Carter, #botd in 1940, created so much more than this. From poetry to children's stories, and from radio plays and screenplays to a book about cats. Happy birthday, Angie! 🎂
