Daemonology

a la Philip Pullman and the "Golden Compass" movie website, via [livejournal.com profile] gregmce:



(I liked the first two books of Pullman's trilogy a great deal, but the third one seemed to miss a left turn from Albuquerque or something; Mrs. Coulter's supernaturally omnipotent powers of seduction were especially doubtful to me. The clips of movie footage I've seen so far have been much more effects-intensive than I'd expected, perhaps because Pullman's focus wasn't so much on the glossy steampunk technological setting as on the sociology of power and the nature of faith/betrayal.)
