The Witcher: a series of postmodern fairytales where the sacred and the profane intersect. We need more than a modern-day Virgil to navigate this grimdark fantasy, “a world torn apart at its core.” It’s fortunate, then, that this book throws light upon the disruptions of traditional morality and spirituality that make the Witcher novels, television show, games, and comics internationally appealing. The essays assembled here establish insightful connections between religion, fandom, theology, and fantasy world-building that will appeal not only to Witcher aficionados, but also stand as an important contribution to the study of popular culture in the liberal arts.
