These stories use archetypes as a jumping-off point for examining the dark side of humanity. Most stories are about families and relationships; some even have a supernatural element, and many are erotic. However, the darkest monster in these stories is usually the repressed human soul, leaving the victims unsure about what is real and what is madness. -- From Book Introduction.
Brigid Burke holds a doctorate in Literary Studies from Drew University. Her book "Death and the Maiden" serves as the academic platform for the works on Chthonia.net, which includes a podcast, publications, and other related services. The Chthonia Books imprint also operates under this umbrella. Brigid is interested in how our fear of change relates to the fear of death, and the difficulties we have with people and situations that fall outside of "black and white" categories...or "masculine" and "feminine".
