HOW I GOT GOOD CATHOLIC BOOKS INTO MY LOCAL LIBRARY SYSTEM (AND HOW YOU CAN TOO!) Via… maybe Simcha Fisher?

I immediately thought of Wesley Hill’s book (not Catholic but we will overlook that for the moment) and less-immediately thought of two kids’ books I loved, The Satanic Mill and The Wicked Enchantment. I wrote about them in an old piece which is very flawed but with whose basic thesis I still agree, here. (The 2009 date is when it was reprinted–I’m pretty sure it was originally written in 2002.) Other books I’d push: Kathy Shaidle’s Lobotomy Magnificat, Tim Powers’s Declare, and Alan Bray’s The Friend. You guys doubtless have your own candidates!
