- Temptation, Fiction, Fate and fatalism, Midlife crisis
"They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. Throughout time, they've played many roles and accepted inreturn whatever we thought was their due; love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion."--Jacket.
