S. L. Varnado is a professor emeritus at the University of South Alabama and has written articles for National Review, Reader's Digest, the New Oxford Review, and the National Catholic Reporter.
Are emotions that play a part in religious ritual and narrative similar to those in classical works of Gothic fiction? Haunted Presence reveals the intersection of Gothic literature and contemporary theories about the psychology of religious experience, positing that the two share the concept of the numinous, the human response of awe in the face of the eternal.
