That's whether the stories have openly Christian themes or characters or not, without requiring the stories to have any specific theme. (The anthology also limits itself to clean fiction--that is, no profanity, graphic sexuality or extreme violence.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Over the past year, an online acquaintance questioned the purpose for the Mythic Orbits anthologies, stating that an anthology requires a unifying theme in order to succeed. To make sense and be marketable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But there have been previous yearly anthologies based on the best science fiction and even fantasy from a given year (\u003cem\u003eWorld's Best Science Fiction, \u003c\/em\u003eedited by Donald A. Wollheim, \u003cem\u003eTerry Carr's Best Science Fiction of the Year \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eTerry Carr's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year\u003c\/em\u003e). So simply seeking the best available can be the goal of an anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e And anthologies can be organized around the writers as well, especially when there's something unusual about the category. For example, \u003cem\u003eCiencia Ficción Argentina: Antología de Cuentos \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eArgentine Science Fiction: Anthology of Stories)\u003c\/em\u003e was an anthology known by its authors--the nationality of the writers important because Argentinians are not widely-known to write science fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e So, is it widely-known all over the world that Christians write speculative fiction?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Well, clearly Christians who themselves are speculative fiction writers know what they write. But does everybody else?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Especially when we're talking about theologically conservative Christians, Evangelicals of some sort, professed Bible-believing Christians, do people know about their works? Is it legitimate for people to wonder if writers with personal convictions along these lines produce speculative fiction, that is, science fiction and fantasy and related genres like LitRPG, paranormal, and horror?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book provides an answer: Not only do Christian writers produce speculative fiction stories, they write some great ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Enjoy these examples!\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 7 x 4.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137462321291,"sku":"9781643706689","price":27.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/Lm11DRnhmV9781643706689.webp?v=1780658125","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/mythic-orbits-volume-2-best-speculative-fiction-by-christian-authors-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
