The Spooky World of Chris Ringler
Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
Several years ago I thought up something utterly silly and ridiculous. It was a small flying kitty with bumble bee wings. The bumblekitty lead to the thought of little flying sheep with wings. And slowly, slowly the world of THE MEEP SHEEP was born. I have always loved fairy tales and particularly loved the darker… Continue reading The Meep Sheep
I have been stewing for a few days on the most recent ‘article’ which offers up Flint as public sacrifice to the gods of ‘page views’ and ‘controversy’. I was shocked to see another missive on how terrible, and deadly, and dangerous the city is from another person who has never been within a hundred… Continue reading On Being An Apocalyptic City And Finding Hope In The Flames
The Age of Man is coming to an end. After a long and steady decline into shadows the world has fallen into darkness and the last days of Mankind have come. It is the Dead Age. The Dead have returned to reclaim the world. Driven by an unseen master the dead rise from their graves… Continue reading CEMETERY EARTH – a novel by Chris Ringler
Despite what bloggers may think blogs change very little. At best they make you think, or make you laugh, or show you something you didn’t know was out there. But it’s in those moments that the spark of an inferno lays. Flint is a city notorious for its issues and it gets frustrating to… Continue reading Reclamation
Living in Flint, Michigan isn’t easy.Ha.Yeah, I know, run through your Open Mic Thursday stand-up routine for me about how crummy the city I love is and I’ll move on when you’re done.And…OK.The thing about this area is that yeah, there’s a lot of things that are going on here that are bad, not ‘not… Continue reading Because Giving Up Is What We Do
(Read the first installment of this blog here). It's interesting how something can rile up so many feelings in yourself and others. I had posted elsewhere a status that I had tired of holding my tongue on the state of Flint's 'art scene'. It ended up getting a bit of response, some pro my thought… Continue reading Raising A Glass To 625 pt. 2 – Where I Come From…
Eighteen years ago I began a journey. It started with a short, weird little story about an angry man with a pumpkin on his head and it became the seed for what would eventually become my first and perhaps only novel. This novel has been with me for a long time. From that short story… Continue reading A Note To Friends And A Press Release – Hooray?
I am in the midst of the most un-fun part of the book process, at least for me, and that's laying it out. Thankfully I have an awesome girlfriend that knows her way around laying my books out who has been hard at work on it but it is for sure not a glamorous job.… Continue reading Laying It All Out
The funny thing about Truth, as I have mentioned in the past, is that it’s always changing, always evolving and is many times more about the feeling and not the fact. And that’s fine. We are emotional beings and who we are is always changing and as that changes our perceptions will change as well. … Continue reading Somewhere In The Middle

Living in Flint it gets hard to see the future beyond the crumbling facade of the past. Every few months it seems as if there's another article, another opinion piece, another poll that lists Flint as a horrible place to work, to live, and to spend your time and money. It's as if Flint is… Continue reading We're All In This Together Now
This is a sample from my newest book Noches De Corazones Negros Little Mean Things It was a mistake. A monster. A thing that was not one of nature’s special creatures. It had no right to exist in a world of warm sunshine and cold science, of technology and dead gods but which existed despite… Continue reading Noches De Corazones Negros–book sample
So here is a new story, a very RAW story in the literal sense. It was just completed today and I haven't cleaned it up so it's raw. This story is a follow up to a story in RED DREAMS but should play well if you haven't read that one. What it is, is dark.… Continue reading Reckon – a story
