edit data

J. R. Eldridge is the creator of The MisreadBible series, a collection of satirical retellings that playfully dissect the Bible’s most bizarre and bewildering stories. Drawing on his love of history, mythology, and comedy, Eldridge reimagines the texts with irreverent wit. He lives in Northumberland, England, where he spends his time on creative projects, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and walking his adorable whippet Xena.
