Really enjoyed Jessa Cristin’s What’s Wrong with Men. The central conceit of treating Michael Douglas’s roles from the ‘80s and ‘90s as a single composite character who demonstrates the collapse of the patriarchy is brilliant. #booksky

According to Meta AI, I am the co-author of the Oxford Handbook of Bibliomancy. I…don’t think this book exists.

Copies arrived today! It’s been a five-year journey, but the Oxford Handbook of Biblical Monsters is out in the world. So grateful to all the contributors for making this an indispensable resource. #biblicalstudies #horrorstudies

Just ran a 9:30 mile, and I think it’s time for me to ride into the running sunset. No need to be Michael Jordan with the Wizards - I’m retiring while I’m on top.
Or maybe I’ll just run again in a couple of days.

Advance blurbs are starting to roll in for Scared by the Bible! The first is from the inimitable @zojestage.bsky.social, one of the best horror writers working today. If you haven't read her Wonderland, you're missing out!

Heading to Chicago tomorrow for the American Society of Church History annual conference. First time I’ve been to this meeting. I’m the respondent for a panel on the rhetoric and theology of monstrosity in church history - should be all kinds of fun.
