Ed Rosick
Edward R. Rosick is a writer and physician living in the urban wilds of central Michigan. His diverse works of speculative fiction, from the sublime to surreal, have appeared in numerous award-winning magazines and anthologies, including Pulphouse, Sick Cruising, and The Half That You See.
Dr. Rosick is also an accomplished non-fiction writer, having authored hundreds of articles on nutrition, health, and wellness and the book Optimal Prevention, which details common-sense ways to fight against the the 5-most common killer diseases today. When he's not reading, writing, or seeing patients, Dr. Rosick enjoys spending time exercising, doing martial arts, and being outdoors with his family, friends, and hyperactive Labrador Retriever.
June, 2025
Summer is finally here in the Great Lakes State of Michigan. The trees are green, flowers are in bloom, and boaters are out on the waters en masse. This is THE season that we live for in the mitten state, because we then get to enjoy all the outdoor activities our state provides, and because the summer season seems to go away far too soon.
On the writing front, my recently published speculative short story collection, WHERE THE GRASS DON’T GROW AND VULTURES SING, is available at Baynam Books Press or on Amazon . Check out a very nice review of the book from Literary Titan, and go to the Free Stories tab where you can read an excerpt from one of my favorite stories in the collection, entitledTREATS OR TREATS OR EVERYTHING NEATS!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Rosick's repellent characters in "Deep Roots" leap off the page — and the sins of their pasts play out in the most literal and horrifying of ways. I was hanging on until the very end.
Nicole M. Wolverton
Author of The Trajectory of Dreams and editor of Bodies Full of Burning
Edward R. Rosick's novel, Deep Roots, brings body horror to weird new levels. It is genuinely unnerving, with an engrossing narrative that doesn't allow you to sit still without squirming. Rosick is a writer to watch!
Douglas Ford
Author of The Beasts of Vissaria County
Make no mistake, Deep Roots is brutal and unpleasant. It'll make you squirm, it will haunt your nightmares and make your skin crawl. But at the same time, there's humanity here, rising up against implacable odds. A tale of disenfranchisemnent and survival in the face of horrible adversity.
Tim Curran
Prolific author of multiple horror classics including Skull Moon, Biohazard, and Nightcrawlers
Ed Rosick seems intent upon becoming a peculiarly 21st Century American-Heartland version of the great British horror-meisters of the 20th Century -- with the added distinction of some of the creepiest physiological twists I've encountered.
Felice Picano
Award-winning & best-selling author of Onyx, The Book of Lies, and Pursuit: A Victorian Entertainment
This book is a wild rollercoaster ride and following Kevin is like being in a car with a drunk driver. His out-of-control temper and lack of common sense make for a character that the reader won’t feel sorry for but will make one wonder what will happen to Kevin. Enjoyable, yet creepy and weird, Deep Roots is perfect for fans of Stephen King and the likes.

Fans of Stephen King may find a new favorite author in Lincoln Park native Dr. Edward Rosick, 61, of Dewitt, who recently released his first horror novel, “Deep Roots.”
