Email: kelleyks@missouri.edu

My chief interest is religion and literature. In particular, I am fascinated by the way religious frameworks present themselves in literature written after the death of God. I am also interested in Monsters – especially vampires – and the different cultural and religious trends they demonstrate about the society that creates them.
