There is something wrong with modern storytelling.
In times past, it was understood that stories existed to teach timeless values and inspire us to reach for something greater. In an age of deconstruction and demoralization, many writers seem to have forgotten that.
I have no desire to dogpile on that phenomenon as many others have already done so. Instead, I want to throw my hat in the ring and help reverse that tide. It is my hope that my stories both entertain and challenge you in equal measure, and maybe, just maybe, inspire you to reach for something greater than yourself.
-C.S. Lewis, Sometimes Fairy Stories May Say Best What’s to Be Said
“I thought I saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralysed much of my own religion in childhood. Why did one find it so hard to feel as one was told one ought to feel about God or the sufferings of Christ? I thought the chief reason was that one was told one ought to. An obligation to feel can freeze feelings. And reverence itself did harm. The whole subject was associated with lowered voices; almost as if it were something medical. But supposing that by casting all these things into an imaginary world, stripping them of their stained-glass and Sunday School associations, one could make them for the first time appear in their real potency? Could one not thus steal past those watchful dragons? I thought one could.”
