François Angelier (born 22 August 1958) is a French journalist, presenter, essayist, biographer and author of fantasy novels.

Biography
Angelier's early discovery of Wilfred Owen, Claude Seignolle, Michel de Ghelderode, Wolfgang Kubin, Gustav Meyrink and especially Jean Ray fired his interest in mauvais genres.  After studying in Paris and a short time with a theatre troupe, Angelier made his radio debut in 1981 with a programme on H.P. Lovecraft.  With Emmanuel Laurentin and Jean-Christophe Ogier, he launched Bande à Parte on the French radio station France Culture in summer 1991—a programme dedicated to fantasy, fiction and comic books.

Awards
