“The Abduction refers to an autobiographical event in Al-Masri’s life. When, as a young Arab
woman living in France, she decides to separate from her husband with whom she has a child,
the father kidnaps the baby and returns to Syria. The Abduction is the story of a woman who is
denied the basic right to raise her child. Al-Masri won’t see her son for thirteen years. These are
haunting poems of love, despair, and hope in a delicate, profound and powerful book on
intimacy, a mother’s rights, war, exile, and freedom.”
― Helene Cardona, The Abduction

“The Sexual Episodes

When folklore becomes degraded to a minor literary form, as the fairy-faith was degraded to the fairy tales we know today, it natualy loses much of its content: precisely those "adult" details that cannot be allowed to remain in children's books. The direct result of the censorship of spicy details in these marvelous stories is that they become mere occasions for amazement. The Villas-Boas case is hardly appropriate for nursery-school reading, but to eliminate the woman from the story would turn it into a tale without deep symbolic or psychological value. The sexual context is precisely what gives such accounts their significance and their impact. The sexual (and, in some cases mentioned by Budd Hopkins, the sadomasochistic) component of the abduction stories provides an emotional "encoding" that makes them unforgettable.

Without the sexual context – without the stories of changelings, human midwives, intermarriage with the Gentry, of which we never hear in modern fairy tales – it is doubtful that the tradition about fairies would have survived through the ages. Nor is that true only of fairies: the most remarkable cases of sexual contact with nonhumans are not found in spicy saucer books, nor in fairy legends; they rest, safely stored away, in the archives of the Catholic Church. To find them, one must first learn Latin and gain entrance into the few libraries where these unique records are preserved. But the accounts one finds there make the Villas-Boas case and contemporary UFO books pale by comparison, as I believe the reader will agree before the end of this chapter.”

“The Fey's Captive by Stewart Stafford

Sprite music in moonlit sway,
Her song turned azaleas grey,
A haunting lilt that carried far;
Charmed ear to shimmering star.

Hornpipe down, melody went on,
Lovelight flickered, then it shone,
Claimed me then on yearly shore,
Dragged me behind the fairy door.

An enchanted hostage kept there,
Gossamer glowed her flaxen hair,
Made me pledge to be her slave,
This regal man, reduced to knave.

A year and a day passed, comet swift,
My sentence over, her parting gift,
Conditions met by kith and kin,
Woke to bedroom light with a grin.

“So many gone and never found and no one ever charged. […] The girls outnumbered the boys fifty to one. They varied in appearance but were one and the same. Young. Mostly too young to realize they were birthmarked with targets that only boldened with time, invisible to begin with, taking shape though formative years and burning red hot through puberty and into their teens.”
― Chris Whitaker
