Christopher Tompkins, owner of Darkly Bright Press, joins me to discuss the works of the author Arthur Machen. Christopher has written a lot about Machen and horror fiction in general at his press and blog, Darkly Bright Press. We discuss Machen's fiction, both horrific and wondrous. We also talk about Machen's theory of literature and his Christian faith.

I Might Believe in Faeries
This is a podcast about stories, myths and Catholicism. Stories are how we orient ourselves in the world. In Catholicism, we believe in the Greatest Story: Christ crucified and resurrected. We participate in His story through ritual worship; the liturgy. Even in the Catholic Church, these truths are often forgotten or ignored. My mission for this podcast is to explore storytelling, myths, and how these fit into Catholicism. I will cover Catholic fantasy and science fiction authors, mythology, folklore and the Catholic faith.
