This article addresses the synthesis of humour and paranoia in portrayals of artificial intelligence (AI) in the popular American podcast Welcome to Night Vale (2012-). It argues that contrary to the Relief Theory, fusing humour and cyber-paranoia does not help release the tension (anxious energy) generated within the narrative. Rather, the synthesis of humour and paranoia maintains suspense by creating within the narratives moments of ambiguity with the potential to leave the reader or audience caught between fear and laughter after the story ends

This review critiques Terry Lindvall et al.'s Divine Film Comedies: Biblical Narratives, Film Sub-Genres, and the Comic Spirit. Lindvall et al.'s account is a study of a synthesis of the impact of film comedies with religious themes. By carrying out this study, using strategies from theology, humour studies, and film studies, the authors have succeeded in filling a gap in knowledge and provided scholars of all the aforementioned disciplines with an insight into this fascinating intersection of seemingly incompatible elements.
