I don't like horror movies in general, and when I was in high school my circle of friends all wanted to see it together. Since they knew I wouldn't go to a horror movie, they all decided to tell me it was science fiction. :) EEP!

The legend says that the fae grew too proud and started using their powers to enslave humans.

The fae in it are aliens, but the setting is a post-catastrophic universe where tech has devolved, so it feels like a fantasy novel. (It also has a very sweet romance in it.)Madeleine Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255889834245025591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-69142803778736271692010-10-24T01:04:51.407-04:002010-10-24T01:04:51.407-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Estella!

I had never really considered the origin of the Fae before, but I kind of think they are simply another terrestrial species having talents that are quite beyond that of human beings and that lives in a separate dimension but can cross over to ours. If nasty creatures like fetches are also Fae, I suppose that makes my idea unrealistic and one of the others would make more sense. Something to think about, anyway.<br /><br />Enjoyed the excerpt!
