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