L.G. McCary is the author of That Pale Host, a women's suspense novel with a supernatural twist. She has a bachelor’s in psychology which means she knows enough to mess with readers’ heads but not enough to diagnose their problems. Her supernatural and science fiction combines character-driven drama with spiritual and theological dilemmas. Her Christian faith and love of apologetics and theology fuels every creative endeavor, from short fiction and novels to art and essays. ...more

New story coming October 2024!

It’s been a while, dear reader, but I am so excited to share that my newest short story will be published by Mysterion Online this October!

One day last fall I was driving to my local library and noticed a weeping willow in our neighborhood. Because I’m me, my first thought was, “I wonder why it is called a weeping willow. Why would a willow be sad?” Then it occurred to me that maybe it wasn’t the

Do not get this book expecting a rollicking good time or "the truth behind Indiana Jones". This book is definitely academic in tone and detail. However, I really enjoyed the audiobook and was impressed with the seriousness with which Kurlander approa ...more

L.G. is 75% done with Hitler’s Monsters: Sometimes this book is jaw-droppingly disturbing and gives me nightmares, and the rest of the time it is so dry and academic that I practically fall asleep. I have no idea how to translate that into a star rating.

The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

Turton is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Such a creative premise, compelling characters, and lovely prose. My only gripe is the ending. That last paragraph took an unnecessary turn for the maudlin.
That Pale Host by L.G. McCary
"This is a deeply beautiful and relatable story of a postpartum depression, motherhood, and abuse in a legalistic church environment. Although I've only personally experience some of what Charlotte did, I could still feel my own difficult journey of e" Read more of this review »

C.S. Lewis
“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Lloyd Alexander
“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.”
Lloyd Alexander

Francis A. Schaeffer
“Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.”
Francis Schaeffer

N.D. Wilson
“When Job lifted his face to the Storm, when he asked and was answered, he learned that he was very small. He learned that his life was a story. He spoke with the Author, and learned that the genre had not been an accident. God tells stories that make Sunday school teachers sweat and mothers write their children permission slips excusing them from encountering reality.”
N.D. Wilson, Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent

N.D. Wilson
“Writer's block — so what? Write something bad. Just throw it in the trash can when you're done, you're always improving. That kind of writing is like doing a bunch of push-ups. Every individual push-up is not the important thing. On Tuesday you're going to think, "Is it really important that I do it today?" No, but the collective impact is. If you write every day, you will improve.”
N.D. Wilson
