Dreams of Other Worlds

Why do we have dreams of other worlds? Do fictional visions point to a reality beyond our own? · Travis Perry

Where are the Hard Science Fiction Writers who are Christians?

Hard science fiction is the subset of sci-fi that tries to be as scientifically realistic as possible. Why do so few overtly Christian authors write in this genre? · Travis Perry

Celebrating a Story Published in Iraq

A single story published in Iraq isn’t much by itself–but perhaps points the way to future opportunities. God willing. · Travis Perry

Superheroes And Heroes As They Relate To God

In part I think the love of speculative fiction grows from the need in the heart of each one of us for a person stronger, better, more capable, committed, willing to put his life on the line for others. We long for rescue—for ourselves, for our community, for the world. We love the idea that Someone will bring justice when we see no hope, when we are convinced that the bad guys will win, when we see devastation wrecking havoc in the face of our helplessness. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Don’t Forget Books!

Through flash reviews, the development of book clubs, and author interviews or discussion or profiles, Lorehaven shines the light on speculative books in ways that allow readers to decide for themselves. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

In Memoriam — Brandon Barr

“So here I am, doing what I love now, writing the kind of stories I love, Science fiction and fantasy with soul.” · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Does Narnia “Rewrite” Christianity?

When something like Schnelbach’s article comes out, especially from a reputable fantasy source such as Tor, I suspect a number of readers have digested this idea that misrepresents Lewis’s views. Many may have even embraced it, so I think it’s imperative to take a stand against such an understanding that undermines a man known for his Christian worldview. And for his many fiction and non-fiction books that deal with Christianity. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Veterans Day: Mayhem And Its Meaning, A Reprise

While stories in the general market are not intentionally reflecting this spiritual reality, they nonetheless reveal the truth that the world is not as it should be, that there are forces of evil, seemingly insurmountable at times, against which forces of good must strive. Mayhem in speculative fiction also shows that the struggle isn’t just external. Mankind struggles against that part of ourselves that seems bewitched or entrapped or bound to a chair. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

C. S. Lewis and Sub-creation

Lewis and Tolkien both claimed that fantasy could reveal Truth in a way that reality fiction could not. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

A Simple Line

It is time to stop and ask ourselves: How much do bad adaptations of our favorite books really bother us? · Shannon McDermott

C. S. Lewis Fifty-five Years Later

Lewis showed me what a writer could do with fiction. He made me want to put truth in stories so that readers would grasp profound realities because of a simple line · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Speculative Fiction Writer’s Guide to War, Part 2: Balance of Power

Balance of Power–a key factor in how nations reason through whether or not to go to war with each other, in both fact and fiction. · Travis Perry

C. S. Lewis Was Right

“I searched for ways out not because I was miserable, or lost, but because I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more.” – V. E. Schwab · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Realism And Twenty-first Century Storytelling—A Reprise

I think there’s something else not particularly real in twenty-first century stories, no matter how real the computer generated characters might appear. We could chalk this up to “that’s just movies” if it weren’t for the fact that screen writing is beginning to dominate the way we write novels, too. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Have Comic Books Taken Over Speculative Fiction?

I have to wonder if people like these superhero movies made from comic books primarily because they do NOT say anything particular about society (and therefore are not in danger of offending anyone) · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Wretched Controversy

The longer this Wretched position sits there with only a brief flurry of opposition, the more deadly it becomes. What may have started out as an interesting concept to consider can quickly become a hardened conviction. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

If Donkeys Could Talk: The Point Of Speculative Fiction

Speculative fiction is known for . . . well, speculation. Writers ask the “what if” question in ways that break known boundaries. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Holidays And Celebrations – Reprise

Holidays and celebrations seem to be a staple in society. Many pagan cultures held festivals and commemorations, some connected to their religious beliefs, and certainly Western society under the influence of Christianity fostered holidays consistent with the tenets of their faith. Consequently, novels that incorporate familiar festivities seem anchored in reality. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Ghosts . . . In The Bible?

Ghost stories, to me, are much like demon and angel stories. Real angels and demons do exist, but few stories stick to the Biblical narrative that show us what those supernatural beings are like. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Evil And The One Ring To Rule Them All

Evil is one of the more compelling topics of theology, literature, and philosophy. Does evil exist? If so, where did it come from? · Rebecca LuElla Miller
