ANGELA CARTER'S The Bloody Chamber ILLUSTRATED

The 2012 Book Illustration Competition is devoted to the last book we've read: Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber"

The Guardian has published illustrations by the 6 artists shortlisted for the contest. Click here to take a look at them!

Who do you think will win? Which illustration(s) do you like best? Why?

I really like them all but my fave would be Igor Karash.


His illustration of "The Bloody Chamber" wonderfully captures one of the most disturbing aspects of the story: the narrator sense of doubleness under the sinister gaze of her husband.

Enjoy!
