— Rebecca LuElla Miller in Jun 2015 —
Seeing In The Cave
If you want to know what darkness is, your best object of study is the light.
— Shannon McDermott in Jun 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

Stories And Human Nature
What I find fascinating about these three movies is the theme that runs through them—unlikeable characters depicting marriage as psychological warfare; evil is real and we can’t get rid of it; and “good” removed leaves evil to fend for—and against—itself.
— Rebecca LuElla Miller in Oct 2014 —
Science Fiction And Fantasy?
The overall trend seems to be that the general market favors either science fiction or fantasy, but not both—at least not in great numbers.

Change The World But Don’t Change Its Author
We can imagine a land where down is up and water is dry, but not one where God isn’t God. Source: Jesus Christ.

The Fear Factor

Dive deep into zombie lit and film — the symbols and spirituality behind this uniquely modern monster craze.
