I hate it when evil is born: Black, ft. Josh Boerman

Written By Jacob Dallas

It's a three-peat folks! They're calling him the three-peater!

Josh Boerman of the Worst of All Possible Worlds podcast is BACK to help the Shelfers crack Ted Dekker's 2004 evangelical fantasy novel, "Black: The Birth of Evil."

We examine the inherent weaknesses of the evangelical fiction author, figure out why Ted hates the French so much, ask bold questions about magical super-vaccines, and discuss the horrifying banality of a story set in paradise.

Oh also, we have some serious questions about why Ted based his stand-in character's love interest on his daughter. Yikes.
