My intention in using the word "demonic" was to convey McCammon's ability to convey the dark side of the world -- be that of the supernatural type or of man -- i.e. the peeling back of the ugly side of human nature that can be, in many senses, more disturbing than an external anthropomorphized representation of the same (take the plot line in Speaks the Nightbird for example). Perhaps evil would be a better word to convey my meaning.Crishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783159913869038737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497965832744394667.post-28852976609097766322013-03-24T10:43:18.376-04:002013-03-24T10:43:18.376-04:00Outside of Baal and Swan Song, I wouldn't say ...Outside of Baal and Swan Song, I wouldn't say their is much of a demonic influence on his work.
