The Mammoth book of Angels & Demons
“Kiernan Caitlín Kiernan created the character of Dancy Flammarion for her second novel, Threshold (1998). She also wrote several short stories about Dancy, of which this is one. Dark Horse comics recently began a series of comics featuring the albino girl who wanders the South killing monsters that only she can see. Dancy believes herself to be guided by an angel. Ascertaining the veracity of someone experiencing angelophany – angelic manifestation to a human through one or more of the five senses – is difficult. In ancient Judeo-Christian belief, angelophanies were often extraordinary visionary experiences involving brilliant light, fire, lightning, thunder and even earthquakes. Sometimes angels appeared as fellow humans and were not immediately recognized as heavenly beings. Like Dancy’s, these angelophanies were usually personal and rarely witnessed by others. The albino girl, whose name is Dancy Flammarion, has walked a long way since the fire in Bainbridge five nights ago.
