“Redeeming Horror: Discovering the Healing
Nature of Horror Comics”
It all began with a criticism, “You draw horror comics? I thought you were a minister?!? What is wrong with you?!?” That is what one person said to me. From that conversation, it led me on an exploration of scholarly articles written to show the positive effects of the horror genre and those who read and write them. I then put the findings of those research studies in the form of a comic. Herein you will find a satirical, yet scientific basis for the healing nature of reading and writing comics. Likewise, I do so, as a homage to “Peanuts.” (Sounds strange doesn’t it?) Don’t worry…it is, yet wildly entertaining! Listen to what one reviewer said of “Redeeming Horror.”
“ 5 Stars! - This is a fantastic examination of the psychological underpinnings that frame our fascination with the horror genre. The cartooning elevates the academic dissection into a fun and enjoyable reading experience with excellent annotations. PLUS a bonus comic, what a deal!”
Oh, yes, there is a bonus Horror comic as well, “A Time To Reap.” Enjoy! https://a.co/d/e86JFk1
