Robert Edgar

I am a writer and academic based in York, UK.

My middle-grade novel, The Wandspringer, was published by Foolscap and Quill in August 2025.

I am Professor of Writing and Popular Culture in the York Centre for Writing at York St John University.

Here is my York St John University staff profile, which includes details of my publications and other writing, lecturing and workshops.

I specialise in hauntology, folk horror, memoir and material culture. I convene the Hauntology and Spectrality Research Group and the Music, Memory and Narrative Research Groups.
