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 archive of popular imagination is a vast resource for understanding how religion works in a world increasingly shaped by migration and pluralism, however it is an under-developed field of study, which this series aims to address.
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. They will be informed by critical theorizations of race, gender, and sexuality, while at the same time prioritizing a reading experience as immersively pleasurable as the fiction which they analyze.
