Chris Gethard is the author of Weird NY, a book detailing the ghost stories and urban legends of New York, and A Bad Idea I'm About to Do which has been highlighted on This American Life.[1] Previously, Gethard served as an editorial assistant for the popular Weird NJ and Weird US publications.

Gethard has often found himself in awkward situations most people probably would have safely avoided. "A Bad Idea I'm About to Do" invites readers to join Chris as he navigates an adolescence and adulthood mired in hilariously ill-fated nerdom, and to take comfort in the fact that—as his experiences often prove—things could always be much, much worse.
