Chris Bridges is an alumni of the 2022 London Writers Award. He previously wrote a weekly column for an LGBTQ+ lifestyle website and was a theatre reviewer for various sites. As a former NHS nurse with a hidden disability, he likes to feature the untold stories of sick, dying, and disabled people in his work and smash the trope of the passive disabled character with a background role.
When not writing, he can be found reading compulsively or walking his uptight poodle, Frida Kahlo.

Chris Bridges recommends

Witch Trial (2026)
Harriet Tyce
"Cancel all plans because this book is going to grab you by the throat and not let go till you turn the final page. It's a startlingly original courtroom drama story, and a psychologically astute depiction of a man in freefall. Deliciously chilling and like nothing I've ever read. I ate this up."

Troublemaker (2026)
Lesley Kara
"This deliciously chilling suspense thriller is an absolute treat. Kara combines her astute grasp of human psychology with her observational skills to create a twisty and compelling story. I was up way too late reading and I can't recommend this enough."

Darkrooms (2026)
Rebecca Hannigan
"This is a perfectly executed and exquisitely layered piece of literary crime fiction with two relatable and flawed protagonists. I was completely absorbed into this accomplished debut."
