I am a professor of religious studies, and the author of several books on the Bible and theology. I grew up in New York, Virginia, and New Mexico. I attended St. John's College, Annapolis, MD (BA, 1988), Harvard Divinity School (MTS, 1990), and the University of Notre Dame (PhD, 1995). I live in upstate New York with my wife and two wonderful kids. Starting in 2006, I had one of those strange midlife things, and turned my analysis towards horror films and literature. I have written Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth (Baylor, 2006) - WINNER, 2006 Bram Stoker Award; Dying to Live: A Novel of Life among the Undead (Permuted Press, 2007); Orpheus and the Pearl(Magus Press, 2008); and Dying to Live: Life Sentence(Permuted Press, 2008).

Great review. I think I'll need to pick up your book. I'm not much on post-apocalyptic stories, The Road by Cormac McCarthy held me captive and to a certain extent still holds a piece of my brain against its will, and Cell by Stephen King--I thought was brilliant. Not the storyline, but the buried literary story around the zombies.
I'll be interested to read your book since I write 'Christian Horror' and edit an anthology of hardboiled genre stories with a Christian bent. The Midnight Diner
Glad you posted at Brian's blog! :)
Yes, Michelle, The Road is the best thing in apocalyptic lit in a long time. I think it gives a lot of legitimacy to the genre now too.
Midnight Diner? Didn't I just submit to them? Except it was to someone named "Coach," wasn't it?
I post to Brian's blog often. I hope to see you around too.
