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. |

In New York City, a young, secretive street tough
who calls himself, Bear, lands on the doorstep of

delighted with his surprising knowledge of

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."
