Profile image for Eirik Gumeny

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.
