Christopher Buehlman is an American novelist and performer whose work spans horror, dark fantasy, and historical fiction.

传记与作者历程

Christopher Buehlman was born in Florida in 1969 and grew up around Tampa Bay, a self-described misfit who gravitated early toward horror, fantasy, games, and late-night television. He studied French at university, then took an unusual apprenticeship on the Renaissance festival circuit as Christophe the Insultor, a comic performer whose verbal dexterity later fed his fiction. By his own account, his twenties were devoted largely to poetry, his thirties to plays, and only afterward did the novel become his central form. Publishers have since described him as an author, comedian, and screenwriter, and he has lived in Ohio with his wife and rescue animals. ((https://www.christopherbuehlmanauthor.com/about/))
