This project investigates the cultural, social, and aesthetic dimensions of Black religious experience through attention to the relationship between religion, race, gender, disability, and horror. Largely, scholars of religion employ horror tropes—such as terror, death, ghosts, and hauntings—without theorizing horror as entangled within Black religious experience. Through its various forms of analysis and argument, Black religious studies wrestle with studying the who, what, and why of human existence as expressed in the varying modes of Black religious expression and culture. Horror also involves a similar kind of wrestling with existential and ontological questions. When the symbiotic relationship between horror and religion is unearthed in the speculative fiction of Octavia Butler, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, and others, new dimensions and conversations within the field of religion emerge. I argue a turn to horror provides a critical hermeneutic and epistemological framework grounded in possibility. Using a network of critical theories, including critical race theory, disability theory, literary theory, and cultural studies—in relation to the field of religion, this dissertation explores the significance and generative capacity of horror found in religio-cultural productions and expressions.
