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.
