Lilith

by J. Daniel Sawyer

You've heard about the night hag, goddess of crib death, exiled from Eden. Monster to some, feminist to others, she's been reviled in folklore for centuries.

This is her story, in her own words. The truth behind the legend of Lilith.

About the author

WHILE STAR WARS and STAR TREK seeded J. Daniel Sawyer's passion for the unknown, his childhood in academia gave him a deep love of history and an obsession with how the future emerges from the past.

This obsession led him through adventures in the film industry, the music industry, venture capital firms in the startup culture of Silicon Valley, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the worlds that assemble themselves in his head.

His travels with bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, and inventors led him eventually to a rural exile where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

Reviews

[J.F. Penn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very short, original account of Lilith in the garden of Eden.

[Sue Baiman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was unfamiliar with the story of Lilith prior to reading Dan's take on it. This is the first piece of his writing that I have read. I had heard wonderful things about Dan's writing but even so, was surprised at how much I liked his style.

I love the character of Lilith. She is unabashedly strong. Beyond her as an individual the relationships between her, Adam, and Eve are a fascinating study in human nature. The dichotomy of the two women intrigues me, as does the theme of Chaos vs Control.

This might have been the first work by Dan Sawyer that I read, but it will be far from the last.
