"While skillfully retelling a familiar tale, Kay quickly leads us into depths which invite introspection regarding the "beast" within each of us, and the "beast" within our culture. Those aspects of ourselves we would deny or project onto others invariably show up in ourselves anyway, slipping through the cracks of our denial, repression and psychological sloth. This book obliges the reader to look at ordinary life through a sharpened lens, and see that, beneath the surface of daily events, deeper and darker energies are spilling into our lives."
