You Rang?
The idea of man exerting some control over the spirit realm is very tantalizing and has long held a place in entertainment.
— Mark Carver in March 2017 —
Fiction Friday – Wickers Bog By Mike Duran
Myth and mystery collide in this short, 34-page tale of Southern Gothic horror.
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in January 2017 —
The Nightmare Of Christmas
The idealized Western Christmas is a time of jingling bells, snow (unless you live in the South with Christmas temperatures regularly in the 50s and 60s), Christmas trees, lavishly decorated homes, presents spilling out into the hallway, and a seemingly endless barrage of Christmas parties. And of course, the stories. Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, The Night Before Christmas, The Tin Soldier, A Christmas Carol, and many more. However, in many other countries, Christmas tales take quite a sinister turn.
— Mark Carver in December 2016 —
Liturgy and Lunacy
Since Christianity is such an integral part of the Western society we inhabit, it’s only natural that it will have a prominent place in our stories. It shows up in all genres but we often see Christianity or its derivatives in fantasy, horror, and surprisingly, science fiction.
— Mark Carver in November 2016 —
Halloween Stories In American Literature
It might be interesting to delve into the various traditions that have cropped up around the holiday over the years—bobbing for apples, carving pumpkins, making candied apples, trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, going to haunted houses, and storytelling.
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in October 2016 —
Shut De Door, Keep Out De Devil…
Back in the day, the demon hordes would be banished by a holy relic or a vague verse from the Bible. Now it seems that the power holding evil at bay is increasingly being named for what it truly is: the power of Jesus Christ.
— Mark Carver in July 2016 —
Realm Makers Presenters, Part 5 – Mike Duran
Mike identifies closely with the horror genre. In fact, he’s addressed this topic in previous years at Realm Makers, has a guest post here at Spec Faith on the subject, and has a nonfiction book—
Christian Horror
—that explores the topic. This year he will teach a continuing session on “The Theology Of Speculative Fiction” and an elective on “The Crossover Christian Novelist.”
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in May 2016 —
A Deal With The Devil
No one ever congratulates themselves on making a deal with the devil. They always regret it in the end.
— Mark Carver in May 2016 —
No Rest For The Weary
Nothing offers us the sanctuary we thought it would when we first laid eyes on it. But we keep looking, and we know that we cannot stop or we will perish.
— Mark Carver in April 2016 —
Check Your Scalp For Mysterious Numbers
What do you do if you are destined to become a villain?
— Mark Carver in March 2016 —
Who Ya Gonna Call?
There is a noticeable contrast in Van Helsing’s methods and beliefs compared to more recent hunters.
— Mark Carver in February 2016 —
Eat Right and Exorcise
What if a Christian author took that bold step and blended the obscene with the holy (and wrote an awesome story too)? What would be people’s reactions?
— Mark Carver in January 2016 —
Horror Has A Face
Personally, I have found that horror I can relate to is often far more terrifying than anything my imagination can cook up.
— Mark Carver in December 2015 —
Behold His Mighty Sword Of Wrath and Vengeance!
It is quite a terrifying idea to be chosen by God as His avenging angel on Earth, and it’s even more terrifying to be chosen by God for annihilation.
— Mark Carver in September 2015 —
Here There Be Monsters…
Human nature wants to worship something big. King Kong was worshiped by the island natives, volcanoes and mountains have become gods, and dragons rule the realms of fantasy. The gods that are worshiped by the various religions of the world are massive and powerful.

The Horrifying âDay Of The Lordâ In H.P. Lovecraft
Nathan James Norman shares why H.P. Lovecraftâs âCthulhu Mythosâ depicts the Day of the Lord.
— Nathan James Norman in September 2015 —
Exploring The Light
What is the point of departure between those who read and write horror and those who don’t? From my perspective, the answer is “focus.”
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in June 2015 —
Seeing In The Cave
If you want to know what darkness is, your best object of study is the light.
— Shannon McDermott in June 2015 —
Continuing The Horror Conversation
Paul’s counter to the legalistic approach was for believers to readjust our focus, to explore, if you will, the things above. Which is why I generally ask in these discussions about horror, why we believers aren’t doing more in our fiction to
show the light
—God’s light and truth.
