The Worldviews of Fantasy

The present generation was raised on Harry Potter. It is the most popular book series and most popular movie series of all time, exceeding the box office receipts of Star Wars and Avatar! But what shall we say of this Dark Tale? The good guys are homosexuals and witches. And the bad guys definitely look uglier than the good guys. We’ve come a long way from the Bobbsey Twins. Not many kids raised on the Bobbsey Twins became interested in Necromancy, Human Sacrifice, and Homosexuality. The next twenty years are going to be. . . different, shall we say? Kevin Swanson interviews Christian fantasy author, Lee Duigon on the basic differences between corrupting man-centered witchcraft and God-centered story-telling.

Just thought I’d share the sketch work of the third book. It is going to be called The Thunder King. Obviously not the final look of the book but it is a very nice start.

Book 2 Is Here!

If you liked Bell Mountain, Book 2 of the series, The Cellar Beneath the Cellar, is now available–just in time for Christmas, if you hurry. You can order it now directly from Chalcedon, http://chalcedon.edu/store/Books/the-cellar-beneath-the-cellar-bell-mountain-series-2/ .

Books 3 and 4 have been written and are now in production, while Book 5 is currently being written.

How many of these books will I write? Search me! I have a whole word to write about, with a history going back thousands of years and whole continents as yet to be discovered. If the Lord keeps giving me the stories, I’ll keep writing them. Besides, I’m as curious as you are to see how the story turns out.

Lifeless. Bloodless. Predictable.

That describes too much of Christian fiction for young people, once you get past C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia and a few other good reads. But now comes Lee Duigon’s Bell Mountain, a new novel that’s full of life, is modestly and discretely bloody in places, and is anything but predictable. Here’s the opening sentence:
