I will be one of the guests on the Encounter radio program out of Australia on the subject of “Sacred Horror: Zombie Resurrections and Vampire Souls.” The website description:
From the legends of Frankenstein and Dracula to films about zombies, witches and vampires, supernatural horror has always captured the popular imagination. Fictional horror scares us because they confront us with our deepest fears about death and the unknown. They make us tremble, but they also act as catharsis. So it’s no wonder then that the horror genre often intersects with religion.
The lineup of guests includes:
Jana Riess
Author of What Would Buffy Do: The Vampire Slayer as Spiritual Guide
Douglas E. Cowan
Professor of Religious Studies, Renison University College, University of Waterloo, Canada
John Morehead
Co-editor of The Undead and Theology and creator of website TheoFantastique
