Angelier's early discovery of Wilfred Owen, Claude Seignolle, Michel de Ghelderode, Wolfgang Kubin, Gustav Meyrink and especially Jean Ray fired his interest in mauvais genres. After studying in Paris and a short time with a theatre troupe, Angelier made his radio debut in 1981 with a programme on H.P. Lovecraft. With Emmanuel Laurentin and Jean-Christophe Ogier, he launched Bande à Parte on the French radio station France Culture in summer 1991—a programme dedicated to fantasy, fiction and comic books.
