Christian Matzke is an author, prop builder and filmmaker from Maine (just south of the Chesuncook Shoggoth Pit). He founded the website Propping Up the Mythos in the mid-Nineties after a high fever compelled him to sculpt his first Cthulhu statue.

"Nyarlathotep" was his first short film, and has been followed by ten more in the years since. Christian is married to special FX artist Sarah Matzke, and together they are raising two young cultists in their 18th century haunted house near the ocean. Christian is hard at work writing the Necronomicon through his site patreon.com/Proppingupthemythos
