So here's the chapter. The gremlin is notable for being the first monster that Seraph is able to identify. Seraph does have a respectable amount of knowledge of magic jazz, but it hasn't been show cased because she's been running into really, really rare creatures. Unfortunately for the Fae, they've been on the decline for last thousand years or so and as such a bunch of different species are gone or nearly gone. As for the Native Americans, well, they didn't fair much better in my alterverse than they did here, not to mention that Skin Walkers are kinda a taboo subject, so they wouldn't necessarily have come up in your basic 'Native American History, Culture and Magic 101' at the local community college (which Seraph hasn't been to).
Some of the 'monsters' that Seraph would have a really solid grasp of-
I love the trick that Seraph pulls on the Rat Lord. It isn't original, I know, but I love it anyway.
The darkness that chases Seraph out of the sewer is a (not terribly) original creation of my own, one of the few in this book.
JUST before posting this, I added the bit about The Lord of the Rings being an 'alternative-history' book.
Wikipedia Posted:
Alternate history or alternative history is a subgenre of literary fiction, though it often uses the tropes of science fiction and historical fiction that is set in a world in which history has diverged from the actual history of the world. It is sometimes abbreviated AH. Another occasionally-used term for the genre is "allohistory" (lit. "other history").
Heh.
