Chris is a lifelong fan of all things strange and wonderful. He first visited a Ripley's Odditorium at the age of 10 and, more than two decades later, this London-based writer had the pleasure of visiting the magnificent Odditorium in Orlando while on his honeymoon. Chris now delights in sharing the strangest stories from around the world with eager readers. He has a particular affinity for animal-related and historical oddities and is an ardent horror fan. He'll never shy away from the grisliest and most unbelievable of stories, such as that of legendary blood-bather Countess Bathory.
