Böcker av Brandon R. Grafius

You may know the Bible as a testament of faith. But within this sacred book are also the world's first horror stories.

Brandon R. Grafius examines the tale of Phineas as expressing the latent anxieties of the Israelite society that produced it, combining the insights of historical criticism with those of contemporary horror and monster theory. The combination of methods illumines the concern of a priestly class to control community boundaries.
