The Bashers from Birmingham!!
One of many little triumphs along the way to finishing a book is when I decide what line to quote from JUDAS PRIEST at the beginning of the book, and then receive the lads' permission to do so.
Today I got the official email granting me permission to use this quotation:
Such torment and sadness That overwhelms like madness So fearful and intense It burns inside
Judas Priest, "Revelations" (2008)
Torment, sadness, madness, fear, burning? It's like it was written for Valley of the Dead!
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).

Sweet! Good to know that J. Priest aren't a gang of wankers. Are you going to send them an autographed copy?
of course!
And look for the hidden references to another British citizen, buried deep in the central chapters!
Nice! Go you!
