When Myth Walks Into the Modern World: Why I Write Mythopoetic Fiction

In every age, we return to the same questions:
What is justice? What is temptation? Can one voice stand against powers that claim eternity?

My work at REMStories lives in that tension — the crossroads where Scripture brushes against modern doubt, where angels and demons sound less like distant symbols and more like unwelcome visitors at the door. Writing mythopoetic fiction means treating myth not as relic but as living memory, echoing through our choices, our history, and the stories we tell to get through the night.

Ancient Voices, Modern Shadows

When I wrote Satan’s Recruitment of Angelo Raguel (SRAR), I wanted more than a religious thriller. I wanted a Faustian courtroom drama with the gravity of Paradise Lost, the moral pressure of a biblical parable, and the humor of a reluctant defender who realizes the Devil has a far different agenda than anyone suspects.

My stories weave:

  • Scripture and folklore
  • Philosophy and lived experience
  • Satire, faith, and the strange digital age we’ve stepped into

In other words — stories at the crossroads of heaven and earth.

The Human Soul Is Still on Trial

Myth endures because the soul still wrestles with light and shadow. Whether I’m writing a Civil War tale (Missouri Boys), a filmmaker’s odyssey (Celluloid Rider), or a spiritual thriller like SRAR, the core remains the same:
We are all trying to understand the forces that shape us.

Thank you for being part of this journey — this ongoing conversation of myth, memory, and imagination.
