Morgenstern, Arthur (b. 1985) is a British fantasy author and former rare-books archivist. Raised in Sussex, he studied medieval literature at King's College London and completed a master's in folklore at the University of Edinburgh, where he researched charm-lore and vernacular magic in 19th-century Britain. Before turning to fiction full-time, he cataloged illuminated manuscripts and occult ephemera for an independent museum in Holborn. His short work has appeared in small-press journals such as The Elder Lantern and Hex & Harbor. He lives in Bath with his partner and an opinionated cat named Quince, and when not writing he restores vintage fountain pens and hikes the Mendip Hills.
