'''Chris McAuley''' wrote ''[[Curse of the Cyberons (audio story)|Curse of the Cyberons]]'', a story initially printed in the [[Charity publication|charity]] ''Doctor Who Annual 1988'' by Terraqueous Distributors, then given a commercial audio release by [[BBV Productions]] as part of the ''[[Cyberon (series)|Cyberon]]'' series, performed by [[Terry Molloy]].

McAuley had previously worked with Molloy in the audio drama ''Voices of Dracula'', where he played {{w|Renfield}} to [[Colin Baker]]'s [[Van Helsing]] and [[Jessica Martin]]'s {{w|Mina Murray|Mina Harker}}. He had also previously contributed another charity story to Terraqueous's ''Doctor Who Annual 1989'' (where he penned an origin story for [[Mags (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)|Mags]] authorised by her creator [[Stephen Wyatt]]), as well as cowritten a short story with [[John Peel]] for ''The Cosmic Masque'', the [[Doctor Who Appreciation Society]]'s ''Doctor Who'' fanzine. In 2023 McAuley co-wrote a [[Dalek]] origin story with [[Davros]] actor [[Terry Molloy]], which was published in ''Cosmic Masque'' #17.

McAuley was the colourist for the ''[[Devil's End: The Adventures of Olive Hawthorne|Devil's End]]'' spin-of comic by [[Lucky Comics]], and, in 2023, contributed twenty-three short pieces to the [[charity publication]] ''Shadows of the Gallifreyan'', which featured short stories told from the perspective of minor ''Doctor Who'' one-off characters.

In [[2023 (releases)|2023]], McAuley also returned to BBV Productions as the writer of a short ''[[P.R.O.B.E. (series)|P.R.O.B.E.]]'' audiobook, ''[[Guardian at the Gate (audio story)|Guardian at the Gate]]''.

McAuley is best-known for his part in the "''StokerVerse''", a franchise developed alongside [[Bram Stoker]]'s descendant {{w|Dacre Stoker}}, designed to expand the universe of Bram Stoker's ''[[Dracula]]''. Indeed, ''Curse of the Cyberons'' functioned as a crossover with [[Dracula (BBV series)|the ''Dracula'' universe]], with the Cyberons coming across a far-future version of Dracula himself, reduced to a disembodied head kept in [[Suspended animation|stasis]]; this was followed upon in ''[[The Weapon and the Warrior (audio story)|The Weapon and the Warrior]]'', and BBV later released a third ''Dracula'' audio, this one devoid of DWU elements, cowritten by McAuley and Dacre Stoker. He also co-created the science-fiction ''Dark Universe'' with [[Claudia Christian]], who played [[Peri Brown]]'s mother in ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]''.
