520 |a Douglas Cowan has written several books exploring religion and popular culture from a sociological perspective. Two of these--Sacred Terror (2008) and America’s Dark Theologian: The Religious Imagination of Stephen King (2018) explored the connection between horror and the religious imagination. Cowan’s new book builds on this body of scholarship by adding a third element: sex. The result is a challenging book that resists simplistic or reductionistic interpretations of horror texts and instead raises challenging, and sometimes disturbing, questions about the affective relationships between these texts and people who read them.
