Angela Carter, born 1940 and died 1992, was a fabulous author
with a dazzling style of prose and character depth. There are elements of
feminism, magic and sexuality in her work. Her best work is probably Shadow
Dance and The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman. All her
work is collectable, especially so the early works which are now quite valuable.
Many of the titles were not published in America. Those that saw dual release
were first published in England. The value of English 1st editions is
considerably higher than their US counterparts.
Values for collectable copies have risen steadily, at the time
of writing, and her work seems to be gaining appreciation. Indeed the first book
is now regarded as something of a cornerstone title for those who collect modern
literary firsts.
