There's an anthology out there called Holy Horrors that deals with the religious aspect of horror, or is it the horror aspect of religion?
| In other words, they’re horror stories that somehow involve, revolve around, emerge from, dwell upon, find their horror within, or otherwise deal with the issue of religion, religiosity, and/or spirituality as a central theme. |
This page dealt with their submission guidelines.
One of the guys whose story made it:
| My story, "On This Day of Reckoning" is a tale told through the eyes of a Catholic priest who has a crisis of faith just days before the Rapture and as a result is left behind when the apocalypse comes. I was pleased when Terry wrote to let me know that my tale had made the cut. |
Here's a list of the table of contents.
Don't know when it'll be released though.
This Matt Cardin fellow, who's one of the editors, has a newer book called Dark Awakenings which has, among other things, a horror-ized version of the book of Isaiah.
Gods and Monsters, Worms and Fire: A Horrific Reading of Isaiah
Introduction: Troubling Questions and Taxonomic Schemes 287
I. Distorted Cosmology 290
II. Yahweh, King of the Monsters 295
III. Cosmic Inversion and Closure in Corpses 301
Some Concluding Thoughts on Closure, Anticlosure, and Cognitive Dissonance 307
Notes 312
Bibliography 316 |

Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |
