• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents the supernatural as a truly international phenomenon, not restricted to the original folk characters, their literary representations, or their representation in film and popular media. 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.
