Review: A delicious read - Inverted fairy tales which are very tantalising and evocative Review: Great in parts - Loved the very first story "The Bloody Chamber". It's really a fantastic read and the "Gothic horror" is quite visceral at times. It sets a high bar that the rest of the book doesn't always live up to. Worth a try. ## Features - Penguin Books ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #196,260 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,148 in Myths, Legends & Sagas #4,198 in Short Stories (Books) #4,497 in Action & Adventure (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 636 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories: 75th-Anniversary Edition (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tczZew3hL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A delicious read *by A***I on 23 September 2025* Inverted fairy tales which are very tantalising and evocative ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great in parts *by S***S on 28 August 2020* Loved the very first story "The Bloody Chamber".
