Gerald Brom — known professionally as Brom — built his reputation as an illustrator for Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and other fantasy properties before turning to fiction. His novels draw on mythology, folklore, and the kind of gothic darkness that defines his visual art.

The Child Thief (2009) reimagines Peter Pan as a predatory figure haunting desperate children. Krampus (2012) brings the Christmas demon to full folkloric life. Slewfoot (2021), set in colonial New England, became a USA Today bestseller. His art books — Darkwerks, Offerings, and The Art of Brom — collect decades of illustration work.
