Summary:
"The novel, a literary form developed as a vehicle for realism, when infused with unreal elements offered a space to ponder questions about the supernatural, the difference between belief and knowledge, and humanity. The author explores how questions of meaning, identity and faith are fundamental to the speculative fiction of today's novels, films, television shows and comics"-- Provided by publisher.
