About the author
Christine Schiefer is an American writer and podcaster, best known as co-host of the true crime and supernatural podcast And That's Why We Drink. Her books extend the show's format into print: A Haunted Road Atlas, published in two volumes by Andrews McMeel Publishing in 2022 and 2024, works as a travel guide to sites associated with true crime and the supernatural, pairing dark history with the conversational tone the podcast is known for. The first volume became a New York Times bestseller and set out sinister stops and dangerous destinations across the country, while the second volume continues in the same vein with further chilling and gruesome tales. Schiefer's writing blends humor with research into crime and folklore, aimed at readers who enjoy the podcast or who are drawn to popular true crime and ghost-story writing more generally, rather than at readers seeking scholarly treatment of either subject.
