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."

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."

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."
