| Title | A Celestial Omnibus: Short Fiction on Faith |
| Editors | J.P. Maney; Tom Hazuka |
| Notes | "These short stories on the subject of faith are from an array of award-winning writers, among them Louise Erdrich, E.M. Forster, Vladimir Nabokov, Flannery O'Connor, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Alice Walker. While all of the stories are thought-provoking and intelligent, two standouts are from Zora Neale Hurston and, curiously, horror author Stephen King. Hurston's "Sweat" is a brutally frank look at a woman finally pushed too far. King's "The Man in the Black Suit" tells the story of a nine-year-old boy's encounter with evil in the form of a mysterious man he meets while fishing. Both stories, like the rest in the book, give insights into religion that are often not seen in the Christian fiction genre. The book does cross lines of faith, portraying not only the Christian perspective but Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Native American as well. Highly recommended." --Library Journal |
