The Choice
“Bradley Caffee’s tight prose makes The Choice a quick Empire Strikes Back–style dystopian sequel that is difficult to resist.”
—Lorehaven on Aug 12, 2022

100 Cupboards
“With thoughtful narrative voice and emotional honesty, N. D. Wilson’s 100 Cupboards (2007) opens doors to worlds of mystery and adventure.”
—Lorehaven on Aug 5, 2022

Blood Secrets
“Blood Secrets charts a satisfying conclusion to the Skyworld duology, with dashing prose that draws readers into this world of steam and mystery.”
—Lorehaven on Jul 22, 2022

Jabberwock’s Curse
“In Jabberwock’s Curse, R.V. Bowman blends different elements from Lewis Carroll’s classic into a quick-paced coming-of age story whose three heroes must learn who they were created to be.”

September Update: Speculative Faith and Lorehaven

Our new website is live this week. Here’s what that means for Speculative Faith and Lorehaven.
E. Stephen Burnett on Sep 7, 2017
No comments

Our new website is live as of Monday. This gives you a few more features, now and later:

  1. Speculative Faith and Lorehaven are now both part of the same web network.
  2. For clarity: Speculative Faith, with its own landing page here, is the blog you’re reading now. Since 2006, Speculative Faith’s regular and guest writers have explored Christian speculative fiction, and they’ll continue to do this under that name. Most (but not all) of Speculative Faith’s writers are helping to build SpecFaith’s related project, Lorehaven.
  3. Lorehaven has its own landing page here. This is a forthcoming network of book clubs, led by a quarterly magazine for Christian fans. We’re launching the magazine early next year. We’ll launch the book clubs sooner—in fact, one of them has already begun …
  4. Introducing the first Lorehaven book club, by that name, beginning this very Saturday near Austin, Texas. I’m hosting it. You can learn more information here at Lorehaven.
  5. Our menus are shinier. You should be able to find features more easily.
  6. This also means you can find our forms to share news tips or suggestions, add a novel to the Library, or share a review. For authors, you can share your Christian, published, fantastic-genre novel for possible review in an upcoming Lorehaven
  7. Eventually the Search option will be able to search all sites in the Lorehaven network.
  8. Eventually, you’ll be able to browse all reviews from Speculative Faith, which cover any fantastic story. And you can find reviews specifically from Lorehaven: these will be shorter and will focus exclusively on Christian-made fantastic novels sent for review.
  9. Also in progress: our email subscription options. You can go ahead and sign up for Lorehaven and/or Speculative Faith updates. However, our last system was apparently confused by the and/or option, so people were getting the wrong emails. We’ll need to revamp the email-subscription system so you can read exactly what you want (and change your options, or unsubscribe if you must, without a hassle).
  10. With that, I’ll throw the door open for any questions, challenges, or comments. We look forward to building both Speculative Faith and Lorehaven into complementary publications that will help us explore and find truth in fantastical, speculative stories.
