They used to show horror movies late every Saturday night on TNT and I loved the illicit feeling I got staying up to watch them after my folks had gone to sleep. One night they showed The Company of Wolves and oh boy, did it blow my middle-school mind. It disturbed me how much sense it made and it irrevocably changed Little Red Riding Hood for me. I discovered The Bloody Chamber when I was 15 and I've loved Carter ever since. She's a big part of why I eventually chose to study folklore (Maria Tatar and Roald Dahl share the credit). I also highly recommend her novel, The Magic Toyshop. It's not directly based on a fairy tale (it's more Gothic horror) but it has a very fairy tale feel to it.erin k. coughlin (cog-lin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00745737727483426952noreply@blogger.com
