Christian Francis is an author specializing in the darkest of fantasy and the strangest of horror. Alongside his original works for both adult and YA audiences, he has penned official novelizations of classic genre films, including Session 9, Wishmaster, Vamp, and Creature (also known as Titan Find). He has also collaborated with legendary horror filmmaker Tom Holland (writer and director of Fright Night and Child's Play) on the gripping horror-murder mystery Killing Frank. Looking ahead to 2025, Christian will continue expanding his repertoire of official novelizations with adaptations of beloved genre classics such as Maniac Cop (1, 2, and 3), The First Power, Retribution, The Gate, and more.

"Francis does a great job of recreating some of the iconic images from the film, the key deaths, the screeching horrors ... If you are a horror fan looking for a quick and nasty read, it has good characterisation and some old school nasty horror to it." --SF Book

"For those who loved The Descent film but want to know a bit more about the emotions of the characters and a tiny bit of backstory on the cave system, the novelization is a fun read for the Halloween season." --Fangirl Nation

"Christian Francis' tale of subterranean terror brings something new even for diehard fans of Neil Marshall's classic." --Fangoria
