In his book, Reading the Bible with Horror, Brandon R. Grafius takes the reader on a captivating journey through the enigmatic realms of the Hebrew Bible. Along the way, he pauses to engage in thought-provoking dialogues with contemporary monster theory, employs the insights of Derrida to delve into the haunting presence of ghosts within the biblical landscape, and interprets the House of David as a haunting abode. Unexpected connections emerge, such as the legal texts of the Pentateuch that address female sexuality and the iconic novel Carrie. Throughout the book, Grafius delves into the intriguing question of how the Hebrew Bible can simultaneously hold the status of a sacred text and a source of chilling fear. He explores the intricate ways in which the worlds of religion and horror intersect and occupy uneasy spaces.
