Nick Groom is Professor of Literature in English at the University of Macau, having previously held positions at the universities of Bristol, Stanford, Chicago, and Exeter—at the last of which he is an Honorary Professor. He has published widely in literary criticism and cultural history, and among his recent books are The Seasons: A Celebration of the English Year (2014) and Twenty-First-Century Tolkien: What Middle-Earth Means to Us Today (2023), both of which were shortlisted for literary prizes. He is best known for his work on the Gothic, which includes editions of several major Gothic novels (The Castle of Otranto, The Italian, The Monk, and Frankenstein), his study The Vampire: A New History (2019), and The Gothic: A Very Short Introduction (2012)—a standard work in the field that has earnt him the sobriquet ‘The Prof. of Goth’ from the experimental ‘dark folk’ musician Jordan Reyne. He lives on the Pearl River Delta in Macau, and on Dartmoor in Devon, England.
