Christopher Moore (born 1957 in Toledo, Ohio) is an American writer of
comic fantasy. He grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, and attended Ohio State
University and Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara,
California.
Moore was an only child, and learned to amuse himself with his imagination.
He loved reading as a child, and his father brought him plenty of books back
from the library every week. He started writing around the age of twelve,
and realised that this his talent when he was 16. It was at this age, that
he began to take his writing seriously.
Moore's novels typically involve conflicted everyman characters struggling
through supernatural or extraordinary circumstances. Inheriting a humanism
from his love of John Steinbeck and a sense of the absurd from Kurt Vonnegut,
Moore is a best-selling author with major cult status. With the exception of
Fool, all his books take place in the same universe and characters appear
interchangeably from novel to novel.
Moore has a characteristic view of the world; the randomness of life amuses
but frightens him. This is reflected in most of his books, especially the
ones about supernatural whimsy horror.
According to his interview in the June 2007 issue of Writer's Digest,
the film rights to Moore's first novel, Practical Demonkeeping (1992),
were purchased by Disney even before the book had a publisher. In answer
to repeated questions from fans over the years, Moore stated that all of
his books have been optioned or sold for films, but that as yet "none of
them are in any danger of being made into a movie."
