Have you read The Lord of the World by Robert Hugh Benson? Written by a Catholic priest convert in 1907, it is a dystopian novel about the rise of an anti-Christ in London/ Europe culture. Very worth your time.
Understand. He also wrote a novel called The King’s Achievement, about a faithful Catholic family in England during the time of Henry VIII and his dissolution of the monasteries. Being a novel, it was a good way to understand that era.

Please reply to one of Windflower’s emails if you wish to send me your work, and I will read it at my discretion. I cannot read everything that people send me, and I will only read works that faithfully uphold Catholic teachings and morals. Thank you for understanding!
A reminder that God is the light to sin’s darkness, and our work should be full of light and love.
Lovely post! I'll have to look into En Route Books and Media. I've found a lot of Catholic historical and contemporary authors, but anything into the realm of speculative fiction appears to be only occupied by Tolkien -- very sad, considering how powerful Catholicism can be in any type of story!

I haven’t, actually; personally I’m not a fan of dystopian fiction, but it’s neat that it was written by a priest!

Oh yes, I always thought he wrote one set in that time period! I’ll have to pick it up sometime.
Bon article madame, je pense qu'il ne faut pas juste de la littérature catholique, mais de la BONNE littérature catholique.
Merci! Oui, exactement!
Hahaha, nous sommes d'abord du même opinion, pour mon part j'essaye de faire justement ce dont tu parles de, en francais et anglais ici sur Substack.
Très bien! C'est intéressant. Sur quoi écrivez-vous?
J'ecris des romans de fantasie.
Ah! Perfait pour moi, j’aime la romans de fantasie.
Parfait! J'en ai un tas en anglais et un en francais (celle en francais est plus grande, elle est presque 1,500 de pages de long).

Thanks, Khylie! I agree, it is very sad. I hope that the dearth of speculative Catholic fiction begins to be filled in!
