- More about Catholic Horror and Rhetorical Dialectics

It presents ghost stories, possession tales, and narratives about evil to confront and reflect on existential questions.

Publisher: Lehigh University Press
Catholic horror fiction is a distinct subgenre that aims to inspire the philosophical, theological, and spiritual imaginations of readers from all backgrounds and faith traditions. This book examines four foundational novels in the genre: J.K. Huysmanss LÃ -Bas (1891), Robert Hugh Bensons The Light Invisible (1903) and A Mirror of Shalott (1907), and William Peter Blattys The Exorcist (1971). By placing these texts in conversation with the classical liberal arts, the book demonstrates how Catholic horror fiction employs dialectical thinking to resolve and accommodate contrasting world views. This methodology positions Catholic horror literature as a unique tool for drawing readers into a contemplative mindset. Through its exploration of ghost stories, possession tales, and narratives about evil, Catholic horror invites audiences to confront and reflect on profound existential questions, such as the line between life and death, the nature of being, and the meaning of reality.
