WRITING

I am Chris Ringler, author, podcaster, event organizer, artist, and all-around odd fellow. I have been writing since I was a teenager and cut my teeth writing short stories and ‘zines. I write dark fiction, horror, surreal, and kids’ stories. As an indie author, I offer a one-stop shop, featuring a wide range of short stories. You can find several of my short stories, links to my short films, and a lot of other writing and creative endeavors. All of my books can be found on Amazon if you look up my name – Chris Ringler – as paperbacks or on Kindle.

PODCAST

The Spooky Chris Podcast features interviews with creepy creatives, short stories, personal insights, and strange asides.

REVIEWS

I LOVE horror and love reviewing found footage films. I have a lot of reviews of them, with some other film reviews thrown in. I try to find more obscure FF to review, hoping to find the gems in the rough. And hey, if you have a movie you’d like me to check out, shoot me an email. I am always open to reviewing shorts and feature films.

Here you will find my blogs, books, movie reviews, podcasts, stories, and other strange things I get up to.
