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.

ABOUT DR. ROSICK

September, 2025

The unofficial (vs. the official autumn equinox on Monday, Sept. 22) end of summer is almost upon us here in the mitten state, that being Labor Day. A hint of fall is already in the air, with temperatures dropping to the 50s at night and sunset coming earlier. But we were blessed with a multitude of warm, sunny days in June, July, and August, giving us memories we will hold onto when the cold days and nights arrive.

News on the writing front includes being a guest on the podcast, Fitz of Writing, on September 2 to discuss my speculative dark fiction short story collection, WHERE THE GRASS DON’T GROW AND VULTURES SING (available at Baynam Books Press, Amazon, or at Schuler Books in Okemos, Michigan). I’ll also be a guest at the Trail of Michigan Authors event at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Muskegon, MI on September 27th from 1-4 pm. C’mon out and hear me and a plethora of Michigan authors discuss our books and all things writing! Finally, head on over to the Free Stories tab and check out an excerpt from the first story, entitled For the Entertainment of the Gods, in my short story collection!

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.
