Fairy Tale, Fantasy & Science
Fiction
| Fantastic realms of the
imagination beckon. The expanse of space holds adventures and
discoveries as numerous as the stars. Eternal truths are revealed in
wondrous tales simple enough for a child to grasp. The genres of
fantasy and science
fiction flourished (and degenerated) during the past century, but
have
their roots in the classic tales that fill the Western canon. These
small press books attempt to revive the traditional mix of great
imaginative literature with Christian morality. |

Red, Regina Doman tells the story of sisters Blanche and Rose, whose

York City, a young, secretive street tough who calls himself, Bear,
lands on the doorstep of two teenaged sisters. On the one hand Rose is
delighted with his surprising knowledge of literature, poetry, and
music; on the other hand Blanche is afraid of his apparent connections

Black as Night
A
Fairy Tale Retold
by Regina Doman
"Regina
Doman's sequel to Shadow of the Bear
is just as exciting and unique as the first book was. Two thumbs up!!!"
—a
reader on Amazon.com
This
sequel to The Shadow of the Bear
is based on a familiar fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm.
Circumstances have placed Blanche Brier entirely on her own in New York
City while Bear is wandering through Europe and her family
is on vacation. Blanche is fast becoming the focus of a terrifying play
of evil forces. Even the refuge she takes among some lively Franciscan
friars does not protect her from attacks. Rather, they
continue to escalate as she struggles to persuade a sick and aged man
from killing himself. Discovering Blanche's disappearence, Bear and
Fish cut short their European vacation and join up with Rose to begin
scouring New York City for Blanche. But the same malevolence
that is lurking over Blanche seems to be hunting them as well. Yet
during this time, the desires of Blanche's heart are being
clarified - and so are Bear's.
A black night. Tested faith. Honest love.

Niamh and the Hermit
A
Fairy Tale
by Emily C. A. Snyder
"Niamh
and the Hermit a beautifully written, morally sound, thoughtful,
compelling and entertaining book. Emily Snyder ... has created the
world of the 'Twelve Kingdoms', shadowed in Celtic mythology, but
guided by Christian morals and traditions, in which to novelize one of
the world's great fairy tales. It's difficult to do justice to this
sort of book after only one reading, but I was very impressed with the
beautiful writing, rich vocabulary, subtleties of humor and truth and
the thoughtful lessons, characters and trials that make up the plot."
