About Me
- Name: KPaffenroth
- Location: Cornwall on Hudson, New York, United States
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).

"Some others are so poorly written that whatever message -or any action for that matter- they contain gets lost in the reader's struggle to grasp the author's verbose intent."
... Is he talking about me? I feel like he's talking about me there.
On the other hand, "Upon completing my reading of it, my disappointment was proportional to my earlier expectations" is about the most pompous thing I've ever heard that wasn't actually coming out of my mouth.
The contributor who flagged the review thought it was about him! And Dr Rosenfeld liked yours, so you just hold on to that, big guy.
I do find it an odd review, in that I don't think anyone could really say that all 20 stories are equally bad, and all in the same way. It would've helped his case if he picked a couple out specifically and tore them up (though I'd feel sorry for the contributors, it'd be more convincing, I think, and I'd take the criticism more seriously).
But, at any rate, stay tuned here for news of a new anthology!
