    Dragons, Demons, and Monsters—Oh My! Christians, are they Okay in Your Stories?

    Demons, monsters, dragons, oh my!What’s a Christian to do with these elements in our fiction? Many Christians have a problem with demons, monsters, and even dragons because they see these elements as evil andthey assume that the story promotes evil. While this can be the case this isn’t always the case. Many Christians outright cast aside stories with the mere mention of one of these elements in it, but do they havea place in our fiction? If they do, where?
