Horror Writing and Religion

  • University of Chicago Divinity School 1025 East 58th Street Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Leading writers of horror and suspense discuss their use of religion in their work, from magic and voodoo in Tananarive Due's The Good House, to historical cults in Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country, to reckoning with the past in Levi Holloway's play Paranormal Activity. What frightens us so deeply about religion, and how do different kinds of writing explore the topic? This discussion will be moderated by author Juan Martinez. Tickets and info here.
