The intersection of a religious text and the horror genre is one that I felt I should have realized sooner, but Grafius clarified wonderfully: Both the Bible and horror explore the depths of fear, anxiety, and other elements of our psychological dark side. Unlike in a romcom, horror never promises that things will turn out alright.
In Reading the Bible with Horror, Brandon R. Grafius takes the reader on a whirlwind tour through the dark corners of the Hebrew Bible. Along the way, he stops to place the monstrous Leviathan in conversation with contemporary monster theory, uses Derrida to help explore the ghosts that haunt the biblical landscape, and reads the House of David as a haunted house. Conversations arise between unexpected sources, such as the Pentateuch legal texts dealing with female sexuality and Carrie. Throughout the book, Grafius asks how the Hebrew Bible can be both sacred text and tome of fright, and he explores the numerous ways in which the worlds of religion and horror share uncomfortable spaces.
