Wow. I had selected one of her books but I had forgotten about it. It was this, if I am not mistaken:

https://www.amazon.com/Wise-Children-Novel-FSG-Classics/dp/0374530947/ref=sr_1_12?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1549200592&sr=1-12&keywords=angela+carter

I read The Bloody Chamber and was impressed by how poetic her prose is.

What about something related to the flesh, blood, rituals, body horror, transhumanism, and eldritch horrors?
Something with the aesthetics of Scorn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtOcbZG5xA4
Or Agony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfsLi1aOnT4
Abrahamic symbology is cool too, like The Binding of Isaac.
Basically something like sarkicism from the SCP universe.
