Kristopher Rufty

Kristopher Rufty is an author of horror fiction, known for the slasher-influenced series The Lurkers and the creature-horror Haunchies books. He has collaborated with other horror writers, including a joint anthology contribution alongside Adam Cesare, David Bernstein, and Shane McKenzie.
