Book Description

June 1, 2007 Lost Genre Guild Books
Light at the Edge of Darkness is a compilation of 28 short stories, including 3 novelettes that cover the Biblical speculative fiction spectrum from horror and spiritual thriller to sci-fi to fantasy. Headlining the book is Undeniable, a riveting, chilling tale from Canadian horror writer, A.P. Fuchs. When forced to the edge of darkness, there's only one way back: embrace the Light. Light at the Edge of Darkness tells stories written from a Christian worldview intended to inspire and entertain readers. The showcased Biblical specific fiction sub-genres are: science fiction, dystopia, cyberpunk, fantasy, time travel, and supernatural. The stories have been organized into subgenres with some versatile authors writing in more than one category. Readers will find the serious, the light, the parody, and the heart-stopping.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPECULATIVE CHRISTAIN FICTION WITH AN EDGE!, May 23, 2007

This review is from: Light at the Edge of Darkness (Lost Genre Guild Books) (Perfect Paperback)
Light at the Edge of Darkness brings together speculative fiction stories guaranteed to make you confront your faith.

In the very first story, Undeniable, the modern day character finds just how much suffering he is willing to face rather than deny God.
In Adam Graham's science-fiction story, Your Average Ordinary Alien, an ultimate SciFi fan gets his wish to meet an alien, but finds it's nothing like the movies.
Another story by Adam Graham, The Agent, tells the story of a writer ready to do what ever it takes to get ahead. But is he willing to pay the ultimate price?
Alisha K. Moore's story, The Marks, involves a time travelling hit-woman. What happens when she must decide between killing evil or killing the innocent?
In Guilty, by Daniel I Weaver, Francis is on the run from his ex-fiancee's father. Their final confrontation in a spooky old house will change both of their lives.
Fair Balance, by S.M. Kirkland, involves a modern gothic girl who no longer attends church with her mother and brother since starting college and making new friends. But who is right? The answer will surprise you.

This book is a very enjoyable read. It runs runs the gambit of fantasy and science-fiction to suspense and even westerns.
Best of all, the stories within will make you stop and think long after you have finished reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed this christian fantasy very much, December 8, 2007
By 
This review is from: Light at the Edge of Darkness (Lost Genre Guild Books) (Perfect Paperback)
As both an author and reader of fiction, I was impressed with "Light at the Edge of Darkness". Maybe it is because I have always enjoyed a book that could hold my attention and make me think at the same time. In a nutshell, the characters are believable and yet a little out of the ordinary and the story line unique. Give this book a try.
The Christian fiction book that I have written main story line is about ten years in the life of a little girl who was "chosen by God" to be the next Madonna in the second coming of Christ.

This review is from: Light at the Edge of Darkness (Lost Genre Guild Books) (Perfect Paperback)
This book is a must for any readers, Christian or otherwise, who like speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror) fiction. "Light at the Edge of Darkness" is an anthology of biblical speculative fiction compiled by the Lost Genre Guild. The authors do a great job of telling stories with Christian themes without becoming "preachy" in the process. All of the stories are good, but among the best are Donna Sundbland's "Caleb Sees the Light," C.E. Lavender's "Protected," Daniel I. Weaver's "Taken," and Stephen L. Rice's "At the Mountains of Lunacy." Awesome reading, and a real steal at Amazon's pricing.
