Not So Sleepy After All
“Sleepy Hollow” left John W. Otte a little sleepy. And a little angry. Find out why in today’s post.

Realm Makers: Go Beyond The Blogs
Realm Makers offered more than cosplay and shared fandom. It gave deep doctrinal magic and a chance for Christian fans to better “incarnate” their love of fantastic fiction.

The Heart Of Speculative Fiction Is Not Weird
These stories, some believe and others may assume, are for the few, the proud, the niche, and not for everyone.

Sharing My Reading Joy
Many readers are still unfamiliar with Christian speculative fiction–even Christian writers, even Christians writing speculative fiction. Consequently, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorites.

Story Shutdowns
This may be unfair, but some themes, phrases, or single words in story descriptions make me instantly shut down.

The Undefined Unity Of Speculative Fiction
On the surface speculative fiction seems fractured into a thousand pieces, which undoubtedly explains the numerous small enclaves of speculative writers and fans that exist in cyberspace.

Reading And Standards For It
Maybe the entire reading experience is subjective. Maybe there isn’t an “everyone should read this” book out there. Maybe the best we can do is know ourselves and what’s good for us to read.

What Makes Fantasy Work? Part 1
Readers love Narnia and Lord of the Rings, and they love a handful of later fantasies. But a lot of stories don’t go viral, don’t get hundreds of reviews, and in fact get tepid responses. So what makes fantasy work?

Reviving The Clive Staples Award
Voters will be eligible only if they have read two or more of the books nominated. We want this to be a selection by readers of Christian speculative fiction, not just the fans of particular authors.

When Science Fiction Meets Fairy Tale
At first glance, science fiction and fairy tales appear to have little in common. They’re like water and oil.
