Description

Explore the connection between faith and fear in Maps of Heaven, Maps of Hell: Religious Terror as Memory from the Puritans to Stephen King. Published by Routledge, this book examines how terror has shaped the American popular imagination. It traces the history of fear starting from early Puritan sermonizing and religious sanction through to its modern presence in contemporary genre film and fiction. The text investigates how Puritan theology used the concept that men need to be terrified to achieve conversion. It looks at the psychological parallels between the fear of self-loss during religious conversion and the dread caused by demonic possession or witchery. This study provides a deep look into how terror acts as a tool for shaping hearts and minds within American culture. Whether you are interested in literary theory, religious history, or the evolution of horror in media, this book offers a detailed look at the roots of American terror.
