Instead, we move around the world and into the twenty-first century, reshaping legends into a post-modern image that is psychologically and socially relevant while retaining elements of folklore mixed with a hint of science fiction.Supernatural in literatureSupernatural in literature.398.2Brodman BarbaraDoan James E.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821155803321The supernatural revamped4119760UNINA
