Anthony Camara

Dr. Anthony Camara holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is affiliated with the University of Calgary's Department of English in the Faculty of Arts. His research bridges literature and science studies, focusing on prose fictions from the late Victorian period to the present day, particularly the evolution of weird fiction and horror genres.

His current book project, Dark Matter: Weird Fiction and the Substance of Horror, explores the development of the genre from its British Fin-de-siècle origins to pulp fictions by H.P. Lovecraft. His scholarly work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Horror Studies, Gothic Studies, and Studies in the Fantastic. With a background in biological sciences—including genetics research on marine invertebrates—he supervises graduate projects in science and speculative fiction.
