ABOUT CHRISTOPHER FULBRIGHT
A modern voice in horror and dark fantasy
Christopher Fulbright is an English-language writer of horror and dark fantasy whose work has been unsettling readers since his debut in 1991. Publishing under his own name and the variant C. H. Fulbright, he has produced novels, chapbooks, and dozens of short stories that explore the shadows where human fears and the supernatural collide.
Fulbright’s first published story, “The Split,” appeared in 1991 and set the tone for a career steeped in dread, unease, and strange transformations. Through the 1990s and early 2000s he continued to build a growing catalog of short fiction, with pieces like “Hands,” “Last Respects,” “Sometimes Women Are So Cold,” “Zombie.com,” and “Death Eater” earning him a reputation among readers who follow the darker side of speculative fiction.
His longer work includes the novels Of Wolf and Man, Scavengers, The Midnight Order, Shamian Gate, and Night Wraith, along with the collection When It Rains and Other Wreckage. These books range from lupine curses and occult conspiracies to haunted places and apocalyptic visions, but they share a common thread: a focus on character, atmosphere, and the creeping sense that something ancient and malevolent is always waiting just out of sight.
Fulbright frequently collaborates with fellow horror author Angeline Hawkes, co-writing novels and chapbooks such as Scavengers, Shamian Gate, Then Comes the Child, Blood Coven, Sorrow Creek, The Mud, the Blood, and the Bones, Strange Gods / S.T.R.A.N.G.E. G.O.D.S., and Elderwood Manor. Together, they create worlds where folklore, faith and cosmic terror intersect in unsettling ways.

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER
Christopher Fulbright is best known for his atmospheric horror and dark fantasy, but his career is wider than a single shelf label. Across novels, chapbooks, short fiction, poetry, interviews, and criticism, he has built a body of work that maps out his evolving obsessions with monsters, haunted places, and the unseen currents of the supernatural.
From early short stories like “The Split” and “Hands” to novels such as Of Wolf and Man, Scavengers, The Midnight Order, Shamian Gate, and Night Wraith, Fulbright’s bibliography traces more than three decades of writing in the shadows.
Standout pieces-including When It Rains and Other Wreckage, “Sometimes Women Are So Cold,” The Bone Tree, Red Chalice, and Elderwood Manor-revisit themes of cursed bloodlines, small-town secrets, occult pacts, and the high cost of forbidden knowledge.
A significant part of Fulbright’s output is co-written with horror author Angeline Hawkes, in works like Scavengers, Shamian Gate, Then Comes the Child, Blood Coven, Sorrow Creek, Strange Gods / S.T.R.A.N.G.E. G.O.D.S., and Elderwood Manor, where their shared love of myth and nightmare amplifies the sense of ancient, lurking dread.
Fulbright’s poem “Lovecraft’s Lament,” interviews such as The Zebra Interviews and The Rise of Modern Horror Fiction: Fear and the Occult in the 1970s, and his review of Elderwood Manor reveal a writer who not only crafts horror, but also reflects on the genre’s history, influences, and evolving shapes.
