Looking at the cover of Light at the Edge of Darkness at first glance the reader would have to assume the stories bound between the covers have something in common, something mysterious, even frightful. Yet, in the middle of that cover is the striking shimmering figure of Christ on the Cross, and then the reader would have to ask a second question, tales of hope in a dark place? It stands to reason. This collection of tales contains stories ranging from fantasy, sci-fi, all the way to cyberpunk–all written from a Christian world view.

The dim light illuminated the inside of the fun house, so Murphy put his flashlight away in the backpack. He held the pack in his left hand to balance the impact-resistant case that contained Laser in his right. Murphy took a deep breath and entered the first barrel, walking in the opposite direction of the roll. All of Murphy's one hundred and ninety-five pounds dropped down on the man in brown and drove his head hard into the thick wood. Lost a couple of water bottles and the compass was smashed, but everything else seemed to be okay. Now he just needed to get that backpack.

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.

Biblical speculative fiction, not seen much these days (unfortunately) is alive and well thanks to The Lost Genre Guild. The title fits this book of short stories like a glove. These stories guide the way to hope, life, and light--even when things look their darkest.

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. Discover the true identity of an alien in "Caleb Sees the Light" or enter a house of nightmares in "Guilty." Travel to the old West in "The Rider" or inside an alien spaceship in "Your Average Ordinary Alien."

In the first story by A. P. Fuchs, "Undeniable", Duncan and his son have been imprisoned for their faith and mercilessly tortured on a daily basis. Though they must walk by faith and not by sight, sometimes God gives supernatural sight so that we gain understanding and He gains greater glory. This vivid tale is not for the faint of heart. I found myself tensing and cringing most of the way through.

Karen McSpadden's dark "Edge of Water" similarly paints a bleak picture of a believer's future. The author takes us on a journey with two desperate characters, satisfying the reader with a thoughtful and believable ending.

"Seeing Blind" is a wonderful sci-fi/Biblical history piece that ties together a dying alien world and the world in which Jesus walked. Daniel Weaver is definitely an author to watch. I simply loved this story.

My favorite above all was "Fair Balance", by S. M. Kirkland. Celisa and her brother Cain, at odds with each other from the start, must choose sides when it comes to their family and their faith. I'm a sucker for twists and this one delivers big time.

Andrea Graham's "Frozen Generation" explores the possibility of technology bringing frozen fetuses to term artificially, resulting in humans being used for spare parts. One woman tries to save as many babies as possible by smuggling them away and saving them from an uncertain future.

It's hard for me to compare this to similar works because I've not read many spec-fic short stories, much less an anthology of them. However, I'd say that many of the stories reach the high standard set by today's "Christian" fiction. Some of the stories were outright strange, and others I didn't understand. But most had good characters, interesting plots and themes that will make you think far after the last page is turned.

"An Anthology of Biblical Speculative Fiction" - a mouthful, yes, but it's worth finding out what it means...

Biblical speculative fiction is the hobbyhorse of the Lost Genre Guild - bridging the gap between traditional secular fantasy and our Christian faith as a living, breathing reality. Many have said it couldn't be done. This book is proof that it's possible. All it needs is a little tolerance on both sides. Some Christians may need to adjust their ideas of what is acceptable, and mainstream fantasy fans may need to get used to a bit of spirituality. Let me tell you, it's worth it. When I met this group of authors, I knew they were set to make history... and now they've done it.

The speculative tales in this volume cover a great many sub-genres, such as science fiction, supernatural, fantasy, time travel, cyberpunk, futurism and horror. Now you don't need to have a soft spot for all of these genres to get a lot out of this book. Take me, for example - I can't stand horror. Guess I've got a delicate constitution in that respect. Easily solved: skip the four stories labelled as horror - it's all defined in the contents list. By the way, you might want to make sure those are kept out of the reach of children, too. If you like a good scare, go for it! For me the enjoyment centres on the other twenty-three tales...

Here begins a journey through fantastic realms near and far, and the occasional true story. Spiritual planes interact with everyday life. Biblical prophecies are fulfilled in rather surprising ways. Futuristic scenarios challenge the faith of those living there, and perhaps your own, too. Don't be shocked if the undead show up now and again, or if insects turn out to be spiritual, too. Oppressive governments can't stifle the light within. Saving the children becomes a matter of life and death. And some farcical tales use fantasy elements to make fun of a great many things.

It's so hard to pick out the best among so many magnificent tales, but I have to say my two favourite stories are "Allison" by Deborah Cullins-Smith, all about a little girl who lives in Heaven - it might just bring tears to your eyes - and "Your Average Ordinary Alien" by Adam Graham, where an abduction scenario isn't quite like one sci-fi fan imagined it would be.

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.
