Selected work

Story in more than one dimension.

Each body of work begins from the same impulse: to create an experience deep enough for the audience to inhabit.

Fictional World Zenita

Epic fiction, mythology, and the architecture of imagined worlds.

The original foundation of this site: a growing archive of stories and lore from the world of Zenita.

The creator

Christopher D. Eldridge

I create worlds through language, mythology, music, voice, and sound.

My fiction begins with the written word. IDOLON extends that practice into sound-only cinema—narrative experiences designed to be seen by the imagination rather than the eye.
