Now that the CSL essay is finished, I’m creeping forward with my next project—a book with Cameron McAllister.

The topic? Horror & theology.

The title? Cinema Inferno: How Horror Movies Can Save Your Soul.

Release date? Still a mystery, but the book is over halfway finished.

Wow, very grateful for this award! Can’t believe it. Thanks to the many of you who have supported it and encouraged me along the way. Means a lot.

A prayer while standing in Home Depot during Halloweentide: 'Lord, show me my purchases that look as foolish in your eyes as a $300 front-yard wolfman looks in mine.'

Victims in haunting movies often have low social capital.

"For me, [horror] is the perfect genre for a person of faith to work in. You can think about good and evil pretty openly. I always talk about it being the genre of non-denial."

@cokenour After the leaden Adamson attempts, I'd welcome something that plays around a bit more. Though I typically favor unfaithful book adaptations. When the original is perfect, why try to copy it?
