Who is Chris?

R. Chris Yates is a storyteller who thrives in the shadows where folklore, fear, and human vulnerability intersect. Drawing on a lifelong fascination with cryptids, haunted landscapes, and the quiet tensions that shape small‑town life, Yates crafts horror that lingers long after the last page. His work blends emotional depth with primal dread, inviting readers into worlds where the line between myth and reality frays. When he isn’t writing, he explores the histories, rituals, and strange corners that inspire his stories.
