Episode 30 - Creature Tech


Listen Later

Aaron is joined by returning guests Gabe Dunston and Ed Bickford to talk about Creature Tech by Doug TenNaple.  First published by Top Shelf in 2002.  Creature Tech is the story of Dr. Michael Ong, a brilliant scientist who is forced into a government job studying various scientific oddities and artifacts.  When he discovers that the Shroud of Turrin, the supposed burial cloth of Jesus Christ, is real and has the power to heal people, it is stolen by a ghost who uses it to bring his dead body back to life and continue with his centuries old plan of taking over the world with giant space eels.  Aaron, Gabe, and Ed talk about TenNapel's use of Christian theology which serves as the foundation for TenNapel's themes and philosophy, as well as his unique artistic vision. 

Although this podcast does discuss Christian themes, be warned that it does contain strong language.
