Gerald Brom built his reputation as an illustrator for Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering before turning that dark imagination to fiction. The Child Thief (2009) reimagines Peter Pan as a predatory figure haunting desperate children; Krampus (2012) renders the Christmas demon in full folkloric menace; Slewfoot (2021) transposes witchcraft and colonial American paranoia into a USA Today bestseller.
Each novel carries Brom’s own illustrations, making them objects as much as texts. Lost Gods, Evil in Me, and the smaller Brom’s Little Black Book round out the standalone fiction, all sharing the same preoccupation with myth, death, and things that resist easy moral categories.
