The Little April Shower Mini Challenge

Completed: 1/4

I read The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories by Angela Carter for challenge #4 (mythical creature). This is a small book of short stories that featured beasts, werewolves, vampires and witches. Several of these were retellings of traditional fairy tales, but they were decidedly adult.

I just updated the list and I hope I didn't miss anyone. Please correct me if someting is wrong.
