Exploring the impossible, one story at a time.
Arthur Morgan is a French author, cultural scholar and public speaker.
He explores steampunk, retrofuturism and speculative fiction through books, essays, conferences and storytelling performances—always blending curiosity, research, and a taste for eccentric adventure.
A graduate in British literature, Arthur has lived in England for a time and cultivated a deep affection for imaginary maps, fictional cities, hidden paths and uncanny landscapes—the kind of places that resonate with both memory and myth.
Over the years, he has published numerous essays on genre fiction, world-building, visual cultures, Steampunk and alternative histories. He’s also the curator of thematic anthologies and critical editions, notably with the French indie publisher Banquises & Comètes, dedicated to rare and forgotten works of the imagination—from early science fiction to fantastical tales of travel and discovery.
Arthur is regularly invited to speak at literary festivals, cultural events, libraries and museums. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, he enjoys nothing more than sharing the joy of improbable adventures, strange archives, and speculative ideas that still echo today.
His work stands at the crossroads of writing, research, and imaginative worlds—inspired as much by Jules Verne and Ada Lovelace as by forgotten pulp magazines or the brass-fitted dreams of Victorian inventors.
When he’s not writing…
You’ll find him exploring train stations, deciphering old maps, or sipping tea in places that could be portals. He believes that stories live in the folds of reality—and sometimes, in the margins of old travel journals.
