Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can’t stop revisiting the original’s thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996’s Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call “survival horror.” While examining Resident Evil’s influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed’s love letter to horror examines how the game’s groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game’s voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

There is a significant movement on Internet at present, heavily supported by the New Atheist movement, which denies that Jesus Christ ever existed. Some of the claims that are made, most notoriously in the first Zeitgeist movie, are demonstrably false. In this book, John Ostrowick explores the academic, mythological, textual, archaeological, scientific, and probabilistic arguments for the existence of Jesus Christ. This book argues that although the evidence for Christ is slim at best, he nonetheless remains the simplest hypothesis to explain the particularly detailed story that we hear in the New Testament Gospels. Although we only have one apparently original document referring to Jesus - the book of Mark - it is still simplest to assume he existed, even if he was merely a man, and only did some of the things described in the New Testament.
