In this unusual and provocative book Timothy Beal explores how religion horror and the monstrous are deeply intertwined. This new edition has been thoughtfully updated reflecting on developments in the field over the past two decades and highlighting its contributions to emerging conversations. It also features a new chapter " Gods Monsters and Machines " which engages cultural fascinations and anxieties about technologies of artificial intelligence and machine learning as they relate to religion and the monstrous at the dawn of the Anthropocene.
