The Crawlspace

Before re-entering academia, writing the book Such a Dark Thing: Theology of the Vampire Narrative in Popular Culture, and subsequently launching the blog of the same name, I published The Crawlspace, a site dedicated primarily to horror/sci-fi book reviews, with a few movie and music reviews thrown in for good measure.

The Crawlspace contains some pretty good content and, rather than taking all of the time to transfer everything to Such a Dark Thing, I figured it would just be easier to highlight it here with a link. You should check it out! Some bright spots include:

Interview with Amelia Beamer, author of The Loving Dead

 Interview with Wednesday 13 of the Murderdolls

Interview with Alexandra Sokoloff, author of Book of Shadows

 Interview with David Wellington, author of 13 Bullets

 Interview with Christopher Moore, author of Lamb

 Interview with Brian Keene, author of The Rising

“That Makes Them Our Enemy”: The Dogmatic Belief of Morpheus

      Since it was first released in 1999, The Matrix , directed by sisters Lilly and Lana Wachowski, has had a considerable impact on the wider popular culture, the consequences of which are still being felt twenty years later. Through its unique and ingenious blending of various religious motifs, cyberpunk staples, Japanese anime, a heavy reliance on the works of Joseph Campbell, as well as groundbreaking special effects that revolutionized the film industry, The Matrix has secured a place in history as not only an entertaining film, but one rife with theological depth and meaning. In addition, the subsequent sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions , while often criticized as convoluted, pretentious, and directionless, actually serve to bring to fruition a story of justice and redemption that, if left alone at the conclusion of The Matrix , would have only told a fraction of the liberative narrative the Wachowski sisters had in mind.       While this redem

Dracula Untold

At one point in the film Dracula Untold , Prince Vlad (Luke Evans), having just taken his final step on his journey toward becoming the legendary figure of Dracula, whispers, “I’ve seen Hell, so I know there’s a Heaven.” His lament, aside from feeling somewhat uninspired, hints at a return within cinema to the religious roots that have grown deep into the vampire narrative within popular culture, a narrative that deals with issues of the soul, the hope for a life hereafter, and the potential of forces beyond our control to deface or even destroy that hope. The focus of the soul in vampire narratives is the most prescient clue as to the religious nature of the vampire and the mythos surrounding it, and this is abundantly the case within Dracula Untold .        As the Turkish Empire demands the unthinkable of the army-less Transylvanian territory, Prince Vlad seeks the power to protect his people and lay waste to the invading militaries of Mehmed (Dominic Cooper), the Sultan of Tur
