This series features monographs by established and rising scholars that attend to narratives of lived religions in popular literary genres such as romance, detective/crime, horror, science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, adventure, cyberpunk, steampunk and more. The books in this series push the boundaries of interdisciplinary scholarship in religion and literature, exploring how popular fiction goes beyond mere depiction to actively embodying religion in the imaginative lives of its readers. They will interrogate religion in fiction as something more than set-dressing, connecting it to the deep histories of living communities, and attending to the possibilities that imagined worlds offer for re-thinking religion in our own world.
