They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. They’ve obligingly taken any role we’ve assigned them, and, while needing nothing from us, have accepted whatever we thought was their due – love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion. Even in modern times, when their existence is doubted or denied, they continue to extend invitations to those who would travel a different road, a road not found on any of our cultural maps. But now, perceiving us as a threat to life itself, they issue their invitations with a dark purpose of their own. In this dazzling metaphysical thriller, four who put themselves in the hands of these all-but-forgotten Others venture across a sinister American landscape hidden from normal view, finding their way to interlocking destinies of death, terror, transcendental rapture, and shattering enlightenment.

The "Bilingual New Testament, Plain English - Spanish" is derived from a plain English adaptation of the 1901 English American Standard Bible and the 1909 Reina Valera Bible. Printed in 10-point text on white paper for easy reading, verses are paired in plain English and Spanish so you can follow both translations sentence by sentence. Example verses: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." Juan 3:16 "Porque de tal manera amo Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unige nito, para que todo aquel que en e l cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna." Matthew 28:18-20 "18. Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20. teaching them to observe all things which I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen." Mateo 28:18-20 "18. Y llegando Jesu s, les hablo, diciendo: Toda potestad me es dada en el cielo y en la tierra. 19. Por tanto, id, y doctrinad a todos los Gentiles, bautiza ndolos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espi ritu Santo: 20. Ensen a ndoles que guarden todas las cosas que os he mandado: y he aqui, yo estoy con vosotros todos los di as, hasta el fin del mundo. Ame n."
