Introducing Michael Flournoy
One author, two styles
One explores horror and mystery, where fear, secrets, and the dark corners of human nature are brought to the light through fiction.
The other focuses on Christian faith, grace, and assurance, especially for those coming out of performance-based religious systems.

The Elephant in the Room
Let's address the elephant in the room. Why do I, a Christian author, write horror books? After all, what fellowship has light with darkness?
When I came to faith, it was not neat or uncomplicated. I lost my marriage, and many of my other relationships were deeply strained. Most difficult of all, I lost the version of myself I had spent decades constructing. What followed was a season of severe depression. I remember asking God plainly, “Did you save me just to watch me suffer?”
In time, Jesus met me there. He pulled me out of that darkness and gave me a deep and lasting satisfaction in our relationship. But I have never forgotten the void, or the uncertainty, or how disorienting it was to come face to face with who I really was. That experience reshaped how I understand the gospel itself.
There is a lie that runs quietly through much of modern thought. It is the belief that, at the core, we are fundamentally good people. Scripture confronts that assumption directly. The gospel is not an affirmation of our goodness, but an answer to our need. Jesus did not come to save the righteous, but sinners.
That conviction is inseparable from why I write horror.
The gospel is meaningless to someone who believes they do not need rescue. Horror forces us to look at what we would rather deny. It confronts fear, corruption, guilt, and the consequences of evil without pretending they are small or manageable. As a Christian, I choose to face that darkness honestly rather than ignore it.
I do not write horror for the sake of fear itself. I write it to explore the fallen nature of humanity in a space where readers are not expecting a sermon. And in doing so, I aim to give fear a name, expose it, and remind readers that it does not get the final word.
