After all, they’ve all got their apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. Via The Daily Dish, an interesting review of L’Apocalypse dans l’Islam. Judging by the review, I don’t have nearly the background in Islamic studies necessary to easily appreciate the book, but just the review is illuminating. I can’t imagine why Hegghammer, the reviewer, didn’t refer to this dreck, but maybe he didn’t want to admit to knowing it exists. But do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up in the Left Behind series?
“The fertile imaginations of apocalyptic writers have identified forces ranging from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the illusionist David Copperfield as agents of the Antichrist.”
Are these writers intentionally blurring the line between politically motivated apocalyptic fiction and slashfic?
