There is something about a shapeshifter--a person who can transform
into an animal--that captures our imagination; that causes us to
want to howl at the moon, or flit through the night like a bat.
Werewolves, vampires, demons, and other weird creatures appeal to
our animal nature, our "dark side," our desire to break free of the
bonds of society and proper behavior. Real or imaginary,
shapeshifters lurk deep in our psyches and remain formidable
cultural icons. The myths, magic, and meaning surrounding
shapeshifters are brought vividly to life in John B. Kachuba's
compelling and original cultural history. Rituals in early cultures
worldwide seemingly allowed shamans, sorcerers, witches, and
wizards to transform at will into animals and back again. Today,
there are millions of people who believe that shapeshifters walk
among us and may even be world leaders. Featuring a fantastic and
ghoulish array of examples from history, literature, film, TV, and
computer games, Shapeshifters explores our secret desire to become
something other than human.
