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

The Night Stairs (2026)
Erin Kelly
"This taut gothic suspense novel kept me up late frantically turning pages. It's a thoroughly twentieth-century take on dark academia...Kelly has written another chilling and perceptive novel that's a must-read."

Killer Twist (2026)
Jo Furniss
"This visceral and twist laden take on the secret lives of crime writers left me gasping, partly in recognition and partly at the bold and funny observations. A joy to read from start to finish."

The Honeymoon Suite (2026)
Rebecca Taylor McKay
"Rebecca Taylor McKay has conjured up a slice of perfect intrigue with this sun drenched but dark and unsettling Italian honeymoon thriller . . . This is a superior vintage style thriller."
