John Langan est un auteur américain accompli, célébré pour ses contributions au genre de l'horreur. Il a été récompensé par plusieurs prix prestigieux, tels que le Prix International de la Guilde de l'Horreur et le Prix Bram Stoker. Langan a obtenu sa MA à l'Université d'État de New York à New Paltz et sa Master of Philosophy au Graduate Center, CUNY. Son parcours académique se reflète dans ses rôles d'enseignant, où il transmet son expertise en écriture créative et en fiction gothique à l'Université d'État de New York à New Paltz et en tant que professeur adjoint au Marist College.
La vie personnelle de Langan est centrée dans l'État de New York, où il réside avec sa femme, ses deux fils et un chat. Sa dévotion à sa famille et à sa maison est évidente dans son écriture, qui puise souvent dans ses propres expériences et le monde qui l'entoure. Parmi ses œuvres les plus remarquables, on compte "The Fisherman", qui témoigne de sa capacité à créer des récits captivants qui effraient et fascinent les lecteurs. La victoire de ce roman au Prix Bram Stoker témoigne de son talent et de son impact sur le genre de l'horreur.
