Christopher Golden is a American author with a laundry list of acclaimed standalone novels and novellas, highly praised series, celebrated comics, and several anthologies under his belt.
In addition to his own work, Golden has also been published under the pen name Thomas Randall.
Golden is an award-winning, bestselling author with hits like The Myth Hunters, Wildwood Road, The Boys Are Back in Town, and Of Saints and Shadows. He has written in a variety of genres and received accolades for his writing. His thriller series Body of Evidence was honored by the New York Public Library and was also selected as one of YALSA’s Best Books for Young Readers.
Golden frequently collaborates with other authors on books, comics, and scripts. He co-wrote Baltimore with Tim Lebbon and co-authored The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire with Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy. He is co-created the animated series Ghosts of Albion with Amber Benson.
He is also well known for his work with media tie-in books and comics. He has worked extensively in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, as well as with the X-Men property.
Christopher was born and raised in Massachusetts. He still lives in the area to this day with his family. He attended and graduated from Tufts University.
Of Saints and Shadows: A Summary
The first ever series penned by Christopher Golden is titled The Shadow Saga. The first book in The Shadow Saga was initially published in 1994 titled Of Saints and Shadows. This literary series is shelved under the urban fantasy and horror genres. Peter Octavian is the featured protagonist in The Shadow Saga series of books.
The first book is set in an environment teeming with, one, vampires and, two, a discreet and hideous organization using the Catholic Church for camouflage. This organization has an out-and-out desire to annihilate the vampires. But why all this hullabaloo? The pin that burst the balloon is the stealing of a historic book known as the Gospel of Shadows. This book has fallen into the wrong hands, the organization which is hellbent on wiping out the vampires. The organization lurking in the church is a classic example of an insecure sect.
Protagonist Peter Octavian is a private eye. Moreover, he is a vampire. But the profiling term vampire is much ado about nothing, or so it seems. The reason is because despite being a vampire himself, Octavian gives scant credence to the fallacy of vampires being affected by light and jeopardized by Christian religious objects. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The independent-minded investigator Octavian embarks on a quest to recover the stolen vital book.
The second book in The Shadow Saga series created by Christopher Golden is called Angel Souls and Devil Hearts. This book was first published in 1995. Golden’s book is an expounding of the previous book in the series. This book revolves around age-old but hitherto unknown vampire creatures. The future of these living creatures, which have existed since time immemorial, is ill-fated. The reason? A nihilistic section of people wants them wiped from the face of the world.
Basically, this book encompasses a looming all out war featuring the humankind on one side and the vampires or, better yet, the Shadows race, on the other side. This is not about survival of the fittest, but about self-preservation.
Various forms of literary work produced by Christopher Golden have been adapted for the silver screen. The following are some of them.
Golden’s series of books called Ghosts of Albion have been adapted for films. One of them is titled “Ghosts of Albion: Legacy” and was released in 2003. The film stars Rory Kinnear as William Swift. The co-stars were actress Jasmine Hyde who appears as Tamara Swift. Anthony Daniels plays the role of Lord Nelson Rathbone. In 2004, the film called “Ghosts of Albion: Embers” was released featuring the same set of star and co-stars. Actor Roy Skelton is also a co-star and appears as Henry Swift.
The film rights of Golden’s 2015 book titled Tin Men have since been secured by Warner Bros. The book has been earmarked for film adaptation. Matt Wheeler was chosen in late 2013 for the scripting task and directing. Among the producers is Chernin Entertainment while supervisor Sarah Schechter will be fronting for Warner Bros.
Christopher Golden, in conjunction with co-author and comic book artist Mike Mignola also wrote the 2007 illustrated book titled Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire. Universal Pictures have since purchased the rights of the Outcast published by Christopher Golden and the book called Talent Deluxe Edition; the latter was co-authored with Tom Sniegoski. Another one being adapted for the silver screen is the book called Sisterhood which was published by Christopher Golden among others.
Christopher Golden has had not only his work undergo film adaptations but also media tie-ins or, better still, novelizations. Some of the derivative books of Christopher Golden include Battlestar Galactica: Armageddon and Golden’s Battlestar Galactica: Warhawk. There is also the comic series called Gen 13: Netherwar which was co-authored with Jeff Mariotte. Other works include Exterminators which is in the Justice League series, sections of the X-Men superheroes, Predator’s Smile, and the 2005 adventure film titled King Kong.
In 2011, The Fourth Labyrinth, which is a novelization of the Uncharted video-game series, was published by Christopher Golden. In 2014, Golden published Sons of Anarchy: Bratva which is based on the famed TV series called Sons of Anarchy. Similarly, Golden published Alien: River of Pain which is the third book in the Canonical Alien trilogy and is based on the 1979 sci-fi film called Aliens.
Christopher Golden has won awards and been many times in his career. In 1993, he won the Bram Stoker Award for his non-fiction book Cut! Horror Writers on Horror Film. Other Bram Stoker Award nominations include; in 2015, his book called Seize the Night was nominated (in the Anthology category). In 2011, his book Baltimore Volume 1 was a nominee (in the Graphic Novel group). 2010 saw him being nominated courtesy of the book named The New Dead.
Christopher Golden was nominated in the Long Fiction group thanks to his book Bloodstained Oz. The 2003 nomination, in the Alternative Forms category, was due to his webcast script entitled Ghosts of Albion. The Young Reads category nomination in 2001 was because of his book entitled Prowlers.
Golden was a nominee for the British Fantasy Awards (2015), in the comic-cum-graphic novel group, by virtue of his Cemetery Girl. He is a four-time nominee for the Shirley Jackson Awards, nominee for Locus Award (2009), and two-time nominee for International Horror Guild Award (2002, 2003). Lastly, in 2008, Christopher Golden won Lord Ruthven Awards.
