BOOKS: The Power of the Dark Side
The Power of the Dark Side
What Joseph Campbell did to explain myth, Pamela Jaye Smith does to help us understand human menace.
Jonathan Young, PhD Psychologist - Founding Curator, Joseph Campbell Archives
Pamela Jaye Smith demonstrates once again that she is one of the world's experts, not only on the world of multicultural (not just Greek and Roman ) mythology but also on the application of the ideas of archetype, symbol, metaphor and cognitive science.
Fascinating, insightful, profound!
Pamela Wallace - Academy Award winner for Witness
Pamela Jaye Smith has brought screenwriting to a whole new level! Her mythical approach to story and screenwriting has deepened our understanding of conflict and villains and antagonists, and even how to work with the problem of evil. Read slowly and often! And besides, you'll love Pamela's wit and humor! I laughed out loud more than once!
Dr. Linda Seger - script consultant, author, screenwriting teacher
As a video game designer, I've found THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE enormously useful…to create much more powerful characters, as both protagonists and antagonists, to say nothing of the ever-favorite Anti-hero. Plus, it's a fun read!
Aurora Miller - Games Industry professional, SEGA
If you've got a villain but the worst thing they do is rip the tags off of mattresses, then this book is for you. Ms. Smith takes you there, to the dark side, in a very readable way.
Matthew Terry - Amazon review
What makes this book such a stand-out is Smith's winning writing style, which provides us with an entertaining "read" as well as a treasure trove of information which writers can continue to rely upon for decades!

THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE is the best book about the worst in all of us. Not only will it make you a better writer, but it will make you a better, more compassionate person.
