Are you a Christian who loves fantasy and science fiction, but is tired of stories that mock, dismiss, or outright attack faith? You're not alone.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim shares 10 outstanding fantasy and sci-fi reading recommendations for Christians who want great storytelling that aligns with, explores, or is deeply informed by a Christian worldview. These aren't sermons in disguise—but thoughtful, imaginative, and often powerful stories that wrestle with good and evil, sacrifice, redemption, hope, and what it means to live faithfully in a broken world.Rather than a single Top 10, this video breaks the recommendations into three ranked categories:• Books where Christianity is an explicit and central focus• Stories where Christian belief is foundational but not front-and-center• Genre classics heavily shaped by Christian themes and moral frameworksFeatured works include Pilgrims, The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, Dune, and The Lord of the Rings — along with several others that Christian readers consistently find meaningful and uplifting.Whether you're looking for encouragement, inspiration, or simply a good book that won't leave you discouraged, this list is for you.

You can find Christina Henry at christinahenry.net or on IG  @authorchristinahenry    In this week's episode, our focus is on houses that are so important to a story that they essentially become a character. When we started thinking about this idea, we realized that Chicago writer Christina Henry would be a perfect guest because her last two novels are focused on houses. Her most recent is titled The Place Where They Buried Your Heart and is about a neighborhood house that lures people in, causing heartache for neighbors as well as a sense of family among a handful of them. Prior to this novel, Christina wrote The House That Horror Built. We talk to Christina about the importance of houses in her stories and how a house can straddle setting and character.    In our book rec section, we continue the house idea with a range of titles in which houses are critically important—-we've got a memoir, a National Book Award winner, children's fantasy, classic literature, and propulsive literary fiction.   Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry 2- The House That Horror Built by Christina Henry  3- Howards End by E.M.

This week on Geek Freaks, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday chatter and what the teaser strategy might be hinting at for the MCU's next big swing. We also hit the latest Tangled live-action conversation, dig into Netflix's theatrical strategy, and wrap with quick recs you can jump into right now. What We Cover Avengers: Doomsday teaser rollout and what it suggests about the movie's tone and focus Doctor Doom and X-Men speculation, what feels likely vs what feels like fan fuel Tangled live-action updates and why casting discourse is always a battlefield Netflix's theatrical window approach and what it means for studios and audiences Quick recs and what's worth your time this week Timestamps and Topics 01:46 Question of the week: Geek New Year's resolutions 05:55 Network update: Why Challenge Accepted is being put to rest 08:12 Are Disney live-action remakes still worth it? 16:52 Sebastian Stan rumored for Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part 2 17:40 Netflix and Warner Bros. talk, plus the 17-day theatrical window idea 25:33 Avengers: Doomsday marketing strategy: four teasers vs one trailer 50:25 Weekly recommendations: comics, movies, and a Taskmaster pitch 54:41 Network shout-outs and wrap-up Key Takeaways The way Marvel markets Doomsday may tell you as much as the footage does. Doctor Doom only works if the story earns his presence instead of rushing him in. X-Men teases hit harder when they support the main plot, not replace it. Live-action remake casting always turns into a referendum on the whole idea. Netflix's theater strategy keeps changing, and that uncertainty affects everyone. Recs are still the best part of a news-heavy week when you just want something fun to watch or play. Moments Worth The Jump The "teaser strategy is the story" point for Avengers: Doomsday The "Doom needs to feel inevitable, not sudden" take The Tangled casting reality check on fan expectations The Netflix theatrical window conversation and why it matters beyond one movie Call to Action If you enjoyed the episode, follow the show, leave a rating, and share it with a friend using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

What makes the cases even more creepy is that an Appalachian apple face doll is left in place of the child. Archer draws on her personal knowledge of place as a 7th-generation Appalachian, although she now resides in Los Angeles, and is always looking for a reason to come home. The novel was a nominee for the 2025 Goodreads Choice Awards in the Best Debut Novel Category. The next Annie Gore installment comes out in August of 2026.   Our book rec section for this episode is a call back to what a lot of people were doing the past two weeks–taking planes, trains, and automobiles to family and friends to celebrate the holidays. We give you two books set on planes, two on trains, and two in automobiles, which you can look into whenever you've got travel plans in 2026.   Books Mentioned In This Episode:   1- The Witch's Orchard by Archer Sullivan  2- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy 3- Sous Chef: 24 Hours of Working on the Line by Michael Gibney  4- Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close  5- Brimstone Hollow by Archer Sullivan  6- Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly  7- The Curse of Chalion by Lois Bujold  8- The Wizard of Earths by Ursula K.
