. . . very good writers here and they have written from a place of
hope, a place where the Darkness ends and the Light begins. Dare to
venture, dare to walk the walk. There is always Light at the Edge
of Darkness. — Steven Macon Y-30 Associate Editor
Immerse yourself in a collection of Christian Speculative Fiction that
you will never forget. LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF DARKNESS, edited and
compiled by Cynthia MacKinnon is nothing short of a gathering of the
masters. — David Brollier, author The 3rd Covenant
First, a word on the overall craftsmanship: Fantastic. These are well-
written stories with strong plots, interesting characters, and vivid
descriptions. — Karina Fabian, Virtual Book Tour de 'Net
In short, this collection is a tour of many surprising aspects of the Lost
Genre. I enjoyed having my horizons widened once more – laughter and
tears and unexpected twists, beauty and hardship, farce and danger, evil
and bravery, trials, faith, and the ultimate supremacy of God. — Grace
Bridges, Author of Faith Awakening
. . . these apocalyptic tales are powerful, with strong characters,
and lots of action. — Terri Main, Wayfarer's Journal
There’s something for just about everyone in this collection, from
sci-fi to fantasy to supernatural thriller and lots in between. Variety
married with solid writing makes this a keeper. — Karri Compton,
Reviewer, Fiction Fanatics Only
an interesting and eclectic anthology of dark, speculative tales
musing about what goes on in the shadows we don't dare think of in
the light of day, and how God's mercy shines at the shadow's edge,
beckoning to all, saving some, and judging others. — Kevin Lucia,
Reviewer, INFUZE Magazine
Fans of speculative fiction will be excited by Light at the Edge of
Darkness. — Jim Black, Reviewer, The Bedford Review
Not only do the authors' sub-genres vary, but so do their styles. Some of
the stories are light and humorous, some thought provoking, some I
made sure not to read at bedtime. Each story includes a short clip about
the author and, even better, the motivation or inspiration that led to the
story. For me, that added to the story. .— Debbie W. Wilson, Christian
Book Previews.com
How successful will Light at the Edge of Darkness be in convincing
editors at Christian publishers to take a chance on speculative fiction?
Let’s just say plenty of ingredients for au gratin fill the pages.
—Dan Edelen
. . . this anthology could not have come at a better time, for, in addition to
helping define a new genre, it can reach out to modern readers and
touch those who might never otherwise be exposed to any aspect of the
Christian faith. —Jamie A. Hughes teacher, editor, and writer
Light at the Edge of Darkness brings together speculative fiction stories
guaranteed to make you face your faith.
—Timothy A. Hicks, reviewer and writer
Awesome reading
—S.M. Setzer
The members of the Lost Genre Guild have done a good job with their
first anthology.
—Cheryl Russell, reviewer
I praise each author for their uniqueness and voice and
superior storytelling skills
—Nicholas Grabowsky, author of Hallowe'en IV
. . . -this is a great book to buy for your teenage children or youths as it
will capture their attention and speak to them in ways that are sure to
bring about debate.
