Any 90s kids on here who grew up in an Evangelical home with this guy’s books?
Apparently, people accuse him of being one of the predecessors to modern right-wing conspiracy theories. PicRel, in particular, revolves around demons that infest a small college town after an ACLU-type organization manages to get a Christian professor fired and a New Age org moves in and starts recruiting college kids. Sounds funny, right? He also has novels in the same vein that deal with abortion: his novel Prophet is about the way the media covered the early 90s abortion wars and his novelette Tilly is about a woman visited by the ghost of her aborted fetus. Granted, this was in the 90s and early 2000s when Religious Right culture was at its peak.
Anyone have opinions on this guy and the impact his books had on right-wing American culture?
I'll stick to Left Behind for my christslop
