Chris Scott (born 1945 in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, England)[1] is an English-Canadian writer.
[4] He became a Canadian citizen in 1975,[1] and resided on a farm in Lanark County, Ontario during much of his writing career.
[3] He is noted for his mixture of genre literature with experimental fiction; Antichthon, for example, applied the format and tropes of a contemporary spy novel to a historical retelling of the 1593 heresy trial of Giordano Bruno,[5] and Jack took as its premise that Thomas Neill Cream, a Scottish-Canadian doctor and murderer, was the real Jack the Ripper.
[1][4] He has also been a contributor to CBC Radio and a book reviewer for Books in Canada, The Globe and Mail, the Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa Citizen and the Toronto Star.
