Angela Carter's "The Company of Wolves"

Wolves are a staple of horror literature and fairy tales alike. They are fierce creatures that walk the woods, reminding us of the dangers that lurk once we leave the confines of comfortable and safe civilization. In her short story "The Company of Wolves," Angela Carter retells the familiar tale of "little red riding hood," examining the very real world danger that women often navigate every day.
