A Field Guide To Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels And Other Subversive Spirits by Katie Mack
This playful yet scholarly field guide catalogs a wide array of supernatural beings from global folklore—demons, fairies, fallen angels and other subversive spirits—presenting concise entries that mix historical sources, cultural context, and naturalist-style descriptions of their behaviors, habitats, and telltale signs. The book blends rigorous research with wry humor and accessible prose to explain how these creatures function in myth and human imagination, why they’ve persisted or changed over time, and how to recognize (or politely avoid) them today. Illustrated and organized like a naturalist’s handbook, it offers both storytelling and critical analysis, unpacking the social meanings behind the myths while entertaining readers with practical details and lively anecdotes.
