Jon Mackley

Jon Mackley has taught English and Creative Writing at the University of Northampton and British Fantasy Literature at Richmond University, the American International University in London. He studied a degree in English Studies at the University of Stirling and a Master's Degree and PhD in Medieval Studies at the University of York. His novels include Crossing the Threshold (2011), Twisting Fate's Arm (2012), Heaven's Devils (2013) and The Gawain Legacy (2014), Cthulhu Rising (2014), Isla's Inscryption (2018) and Nina's Secret (2022).

He has also published an academic study of the Latin and Anglo-Norman versions of the Legend of St Brendan (2008) and a Bilingual edition of the Anglo-Norman version (2012), and a bilingual edition of the foundation legend The Origin of the Giants (2014). He has edited a gothic novel which was published in 1802 and which was influenced by the work of Ann Radcliffe entitled Who's the Murderer? by Eleanor Sleath. In addition he has published chapters on mythology and folklore and Medieval, Gothic, and fantasy literature, and on authors such as August Derleth and Nigel Kneale. He recently completed the 8-volume Spring-Heeled Jack Library. In almost all cases, each volume is the first time the stories have been published as a continuous narrative, and some are complete for the first time since publication, as the British Library is missing some of the issues.
