John Langan è un autore americano di successo, acclamato per i suoi contributi al genere horror. Ha ricevuto diversi premi prestigiosi, tra cui il Premio Internazionale Horror Guild e il Bram Stoker Award. Langan ha conseguito la laurea magistrale presso la State University of New York a New Paltz e il Master of Philosophy presso The Graduate Center, CUNY. Il suo background accademico si riflette nei suoi ruoli di insegnante, in cui condivide la sua competenza in scrittura creativa e narrativa gotica presso la SUNY New Paltz e come professore aggiunto al Marist College.
La vita personale di Langan è incentrata nello stato di New York, dove risiede con sua moglie, due figli e un gatto. La sua dedizione alla famiglia e alla casa traspare nella sua scrittura, che spesso trae ispirazione dalle sue stesse esperienze e dal mondo che lo circonda. "Il pescatore", uno dei suoi lavori più notevoli, è una testimonanza della sua abilità nel creare narrazioni avvincenti che spaventano e affascinano i lettori allo stesso tempo. La vittoria del Bram Stoker Award per questo romanzo dimostra il suo talento e il suo impatto sul genere horror.
