Predators: Predators don't live in fairy tales. They walk beside us.

By Filippo Pilotta

Predators don't live in fairy tales. They walk beside us.
They don't always have fangs and claws, and they don't live in the woods. They wear ordinary faces, say the right words, know how to wait and how to convince. And above all, they know how to make you doubt what you feel, what you see, what you remember.
PREDATORS gathers twenty-five contemporary stories: twenty-five patterns of power, manipulation and control that run through relationships, families, workplaces, institutions, communities. Cases that could sit at the bottom of a newspaper page, told by a voice that never names itself, a voice that beneath every story recognizes the same ancient mechanism. Because the patterns never change. Only the clothes they wear.
Would you recognize the predator when it is already beside you?
A journey into the dependencies we don't know we have, the abuse that doesn't always leave bruises, the silences that protect the guilty. And into the other half, the one almost no one tells: resistance, choice, the intelligence that saves.
Fairy tales were made for this, before we stopped telling them: to teach us to recognize the wolf that walks on two legs. This book gives them back their teeth, in the language of today.
Because the truth is not written in fairy tales. But every one of us can still rewrite it.
