First edition

Shadow Dance was Angela Carter's first novel,[1] published in England by Heinemann in 1966. It was published under the name Honeybuzzard in the United States.[2] Upon publication it was acclaimed by Anthony Burgess, who wrote that he "read this book with admiration, horror and other relevant emotions... Angela Carter has remarkable descriptive gifts, a powerful imagination, and... a capacity for looking at the mess of contemporary life without flinching."

Carter's novels Shadow Dance, Several Perceptions (1968) and Love (1971) are sometimes referred to as the "Bristol Trilogy".[3]
