~ Visions of Darkness ~

Hi there, my name is Chris Ringler and I am a writer living in Flint, Michigan. I have been writing since I was sixteen and really became serious about it when I was eighteen. I got my start writing short stories and then writing articles and editing ‘zines, which lead to a magazine called  GHOULASH that my friends and I had and eventually lead to it going national for an issue.

While I worked on the ‘zines I  got more serious about writing  and put together a collection of stories entitled BACK FROM NOTHING that was released in ‘99. That book is a collection of stories that are dark tales about the worst places of the heart.

Since that time I have finished a novel I am trying to get published, have put together some ash cans, and have written several dozen stories.
In the last year I have developed a love for painting and photography as well and am having fun developing those skills.

In June of 2009 I  released my second book of short stories entitled THIS BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS. This collection is a mix of stories that shine more light into the dark places of the heart and shows that human monsters are sometimes the most horrifying of all. Along with the stories, there are some of my photos in the book as well.

I am a writer, artist, and photographer and am working to nurture all of those loves. I alsolove movies, love the arts, love to work with people, and am a huge nerd at heart.

I have been published in Cthulhu Sex Magazine, and have appeared in Bare Bone three times.

I have also received honorable mention in two editions of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror
