A Fantasy Character Looks At Science Fiction
Based on an early review of the book as âa solid bit of social science fiction,â the reader bought a copy, only to find heâd been hoodwinked. Righteously disgruntled, he wrapped up his resultant two-star review by saying, âCharacters reciting […]

Surprise! Wrong Villain
âWe create our own demons,â Tony Stark concludes in Iron Man 3. Very true, but subversion can only go so far. We also fight actual demons and overt villains.

In The News: Mid-March 2013
âThe Hobbitâ on DVD, reviewing the âLeft Behindâ dramatic audio pilot, âDoctor Whoâ promos, St. Patrick, a low view of what Jesus can handle, and one theologianâs âJack the Giant Slayerâ criticisms.

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 donât go viral, donât get hundreds of reviews, and in fact get tepid responses. So what makes fantasy work?

Fiction Christians From Another Planet! VIII: The Invisible Body
