Personally, I'm not sure whether I'm more frightened by the pious crap or the blasphemous, would be edgy crap. But some of the summaries are strangely amusing, even if some of them do make me want to thwap the authors with a copy of Pseudo-Dionysius while crying 'angels are not sexual beings, you idiots!'
