Edward Rooke

Edward Rooke is an author of historical horror fiction whose work explores faith, violence, obsession, and the shadows left behind by history.

His family line traces back to Shropshire, England, near the Welsh border. In the mid-nineteenth century, the family crossed to America and eventually settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Rooke studied history and literature at a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania, later spending time abroad in England and Wales. There, old churches, borderland history, parish records, archival fragments, and religious folklore shaped his fascination with the past and the stories buried beneath it.

His fiction is drawn to the tension between faith and doubt, the slow rot beneath respectable society, and the archive as a place where forgotten horrors wait to be read again.
