PURE SPECULATIVE FICTION

Here's where I put novels by Christian authors whose works are clearly speculative but don't seem to fit into any of the other genres.

Several of the authors I placed in those previous categories could've as easily gone here. Hey, it's a loose category. That's what makes this so fun.

Davis Bunn

Davis (who also writes under T. Davis Bunn) is a veteran Christian novelist. Most of his novels are not speculative, but this one is.

Davis also wrote The Spectrum Chronicles under the pen name Thomas Locke. Three of the original four novels were later released as The Dream Voyagers, under the name T. Davis Bunn.

Jack Cavanaugh

Jack is mostly known for his award-winning historical fiction, but Death Watch is a great speculative novel. The other novels listed are in Jack's Kingdom Wars series, supernatural fiction from Howard.

John DeSimone

John's DaVinci-themed novel is good speculative fun.

Alton Gansky

Some of Al's novels are spiritual warfare, some are supernatural thrillers, and some are chillers. The guy's mind is as flexible as it is creative. About the only category I could find that fit just about everything he did is this one.

Al's novel A Ship Possessed was one of the first supernatural thrillers I read, and the power of the genre stuck with me.

Al's speculative fiction has been a finalist for a Christy Award in the visionary category several times.

Angela Hunt

Angie is a prolific Christian novelist who usually writes in other genres besides speculative. However, The Immortal, which concerns the legend of the Wandering Jew, is clearly speculative. As is The Truth Teller.

Tosca Lee

Tosca has a long history in speculative worlds, as a tabletop gamer, a writer, and a model and beauty pageant winner. Her speculative writing is so good that it has caused more than one woman to comment on how it isn't fair for one person to "have it all."

I had the great honor of being the first to bring Tosca to the world of Christian fiction, and to be her editor and friend. Don't miss the interview I did with her.

Demon: A Memoir is about a man who walks into a diner and is hailed by a stranger--who happens to be a demon in human form, bent on telling the protagonist all about human history—from a certain point of view. Brilliant writing.

Robin Parrish

Robin (who is male) has created the awesome INFUZE site and Webzine. He has also written a novel that is clearly speculative.
