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.

And so another summer in Michigan roles around. For many of us, this is the time of year in the mitten state—16-hour days of sunshine, warm nights filled with the sights and sounds of fireflies, peepers, and crickets, a chance to sit back, enjoy a cold adult beverage (if you’re so inclined), and enjoy the wonderful and blessed symphony of life.
News on the writing front includes the finishing of the first draft of my new horror novel, BABIES JUGGLING CHAINSAWS. I’m happy with it (well, as happy as any writer is with their novel’s first draft) and will soon to get to work on revisions and editing. I have a novella (WALKING BLINDLY INTO THE MALESTROM) and my previously-released short story collection (WHERE THE GRASS DON’T GROW AND VULTURES SING) awaiting the hopefully-soon final approval and contract by publishers so, all in all, things are going well on the literary front. Finally, head over to the Free Stories tab to check out one of my favorite shorter pieces of horror, GOING TO WORK!

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.”
