About the Author:

Chris Chaos is a long time resident of South Jersey who once again resides in and writes from Gloucester City, New Jersey. He is a filmmaker, a business owner, writer, urban explorer and investigator of the odd and weird, has a black cat named Jynx, four rats: Phantom the Dumbo Rat, Abbey the Albino, Hopping Heather and Climbing Carol, a proud parent, happily taken and a connoisseur of hot wings. He is also the founder of Axis Video and Pine Barren Films. As the owner, he has produced and has been involved with many ground breaking east coast music and documentaries projects. Gradually he switched his focus from making films to authoring books on various topics. In the vein of paranormal, the preservation of history and lore, he has created the series "Cursed: An Explanation of the Unknown" and the documentary, "The Search for the Jersey Devil" along with the companion books of the same title. For his contribution to music he produced countless music videos for many international, national and local bands. Some can be viewed on the "Dynasty of Darkness" compilations. Currently he is producing a humanitarian documentary on the topics of vision loss and blindness entitled, “A WORLD WITHOUT BOUNDARIES”. Concerning his horror writings, many wondered what inspired him to pen the stories that he did. Here is an excerpt of what he had to say: "Horror is all around us, just turn on the news or look out your window. The demons and monsters are inside of your fellow man. From the meth mom that sells her infant to a film producer of stomping videos in exchange for drugs, to the parent that kills her child so they can have more time to play Farmville. Inspiration comes from those around you, turn the bad, the horrible into something good." He went on, "When I was a child I would borrow my father's movies..he thought I was watching child friendly movies but I was taking his Faces of Death video tapes and going into my room to take it all in."
