About the Author:
Chris Hicks is the author of I Am Not Alone, the record-breaking short story acquired by Netflix, where Misha Green is attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Jessica Chastain and Simon Kinberg.
His story “All You Can Eat” - currently in development with Wonder Worldwide and Big Light Productions - is being released on Substack as a serialized publication for the first time since its original 2019 debut.
Chris’s fiction has been read by millions on Reddit’s r/NoSleep, where several of his stories remain among the most shared in the community’s history. His short “My Sleep Paralysis Demon Is Actually a Pretty Chill Guy” was voted Scariest Story by NoSleep readers.
As a screenwriter, he was a quarterfinalist in the 2022 Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowship, recognized on the 2020 BloodList, and named one of Austin Film Festival’s 2024 Screenwriters to Watch.
He writes horror grounded in character and emotion, stories that use fear to illuminate vulnerability, consequence, and connection, inviting readers to feel something long after the scare fades.
