Leading writers of horror and suspense—Tananarive Due, Levi Holloway & Matt Ruff—discuss the role of religion in their work and the genre.
Join us for a panel discussion about religion, spirituality, and horror writing!
Leading writers of horror and suspense discuss their use of religion in their work, from magic and voodoo in Tananarive Due’s The Good House, to historical cults in Matt Ruff’s Lovecraft Country, to reckoning with the past in Levi Holloway’s play Paranormal Activity. What frightens us so deeply about religion, and how do different kinds of writing explore the topic? This discussion will be moderated by author Juan Martinez.
This program takes place at the University of Chicago Divinity School, 1025 E 58th St, Chicago, IL 60637. Books will be available for purchase and the authors will sign them following the program.
This program is presented in conjunction with the AWM’s forthcoming special exhibit American Prophets: Writers, Religion, and Culture, opening November 2025. American Prophets is supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative.
