Eirik Gumeny

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

Eirik Gumeny is over six feet tall and enjoys sugar. He is the author of the EXPONENTIAL APOCALYPSE novels, as well as a multitude of short fiction. Originally from the highway-choked suburbs of New Jersey, he now lives in the mile-high desert of New Mexico. He is very pale and it is very sunny, so he will probably combust any day now.
