Book Month: King

In this second episode of Series Book Month, hosts Greg and Nathan shift from the sweeping realms of Tolkien's fantasy to the shadowy corridors of horror fiction—focusing on the works of Stephen King, the modern master of the genre. But what place, if any, does horror have in the Christian imagination?

This week, Greg and Nathan explore how horror—far from being mere entertainment—can actually deepen our understanding of sin, evil, judgment, and grace. With thoughtful reflection and biblical grounding, they discuss how horror exposes the brokenness of the world, the desperate human need for redemption, and the paths to discovery.

Far from glorifying evil, a well-crafted horror story often reveals the very thing Christians are called to confront: the horror of a world without God—and the hope that remains because of Him.

Whether you're a longtime Stephen King reader or a skeptic of the genre, this episode offers a surprising, thought-provoking look at why engaging with dark stories can actually point us toward the light.
