Where are the Gods?
One question that has always intrigued me is what happens to demonic beings when immigrants move from their homelands. Irish-Americans remember the fairies. Norwegian-Americans the nisses, Greek-Americans the vrykolakas, but only in relation to events remembered in the Old Country. When I once asked why such demons are not seen in America, my informants giggled confusedly and said:
“They’re scared to pass the ocean, it’s too far”,
pointing out that Christ and the apostles never came to America.
This is not a guidebook this is a book of fiction.
All of the people are fictional. Only the Gods are real.
