Chris Kullstroem is a life-long Halloween, horror and monster buff. Always on the lookout for books that focus on fun Halloween outings, monstrous games and other adventures that may risk your immortal soul, she decided to fill the void and make some of her own.

  Chris started out writing articles for websites and weekly Connecticut newspapers, the first of which was entitled “Making a Season of Halloween.” The article included different ways readers could make Halloween last for entire season by creating their own outdoor displays, planning outings to various Halloween events, throwing themed parties and more. From there, Chris wrote about more and more ways that readers could get into the spirit of the season, and finally decided to put together a book for the world to embrace the best and most monstrous holiday.

  After completing Making a Monstrous Halloween, Chris found that the chapter Party Nights! was one of her favorites, and wanted to make her next book solely on themed parties and games that would revolve around monsters. Having watched dozens of monster films for part of Monstrous Halloween research, Chris designed games specifically themed after her favorites in classic and modern horror, science fiction and dark comedies.

  Chris graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2004 with a degree in English and Philosophy. She lives in Norwich, CT.
