Christopher Bloodworth is a writer based in-yeah, no. Sorry, folks, but I'm not going to chode it up here by talking about myself in third-person. Here's everything you need to know about me: I want to scare you.

That's not entirely correct though. I want to violate you. I want to reach through the page and tear away your calm. I want to give you nightmares. I want to make you keep turning the pages of my stories because you have to know what happens next, but I want you to absolutely dread finding out what that is.

That's my goal.

I write horror/suspense books.

I also like taking long walks on sandy beaches with my dog, Dina.

My name is Kristopher J. Patten. I’m a scientist by trade and a writer by choice. Actually, that’s not quite true; writing isn’t a choice. I have had the compulsion – the physical need – to write since at least the age of 7. Writing seems to be such an inherent drive to me that, oftentimes, I’ll only feel truly at ease when I’ve exercised the demons of narrative through my pen. Or, you know, keyboard. Pen sounds better. Those first stories were mostly run-on sentences and dream-fulfillment fantasies of my desire for a fourth Indiana Jones movie. (This was the early 90s so none of knew about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Don't you wish you could go back?) Since that beginning, I’ve been continuously refining my skill for roughly 20 years. Maybe just slightly more.

While my literary prowess has evolved considerably, my tastes have not. At heart, I’m still the young boy enthralled by the adventures of the whip-wielding archaeologist, excited by the prospect of traveling to the distant worlds of Tatooine, Vulcan, and Arrakis, morbidly fascinated by the idea of a heart that beats from under the floorboards, and whose curiosity – like a tongue probing an infected tooth – won’t stop investigating the mysteries in the dark. The genres in which I find myself writing most often are horror and science fiction.

I also have a PhD in Cognitive Science from Arizona State University. I spend most of my free time doing my real job, which entails researching human perception - mostly the auditory system, including listening to and making music, identifying and parsing auditory objects, and auditory illusions like Shepard Tones (you should really go look that up ASAP, it's awesome). In addition to perceptual research, I also try to find new uses for and new ways to refine a dimension reduction procedure called Multidimensional Scaling.
