Brom is a celebrated American author and artist known for his contributions to fantasy, science fiction, and horror literature. His notable works include "The Child Thief," a dark reimagining of Peter Pan, as well as "Lost Gods," "Krampus the Yule Lord," "The Plucker," and "The Devil’s Rose." These award-winning illustrated novels blend haunting narratives with his distinctive gothic artistry, earning him recognition as a national bestseller. Beyond writing, Brom has made significant strides in role-playing games, comics, and film, solidifying his reputation across multiple creative industries.
Born in Albany, Georgia, Brom spent his formative years moving frequently due to his father’s military service, living in places like Germany, Japan, Hawaii, and Alabama. This nomadic upbringing deeply influenced his artistic sensibilities, fostering a fascination with the macabre and the fantastical. Beginning his career as a commercial illustrator in Atlanta, he transitioned into fantasy art, gaining acclaim for his work with TSR’s role-playing worlds. His unique style and storytelling prowess have earned him prestigious honors, including the Spectrum Fantastic Art Grand Master Award and the Chesley Lifetime Achievement Award.
Today, Brom continues to create from his home near Savannah, Georgia, though he humorously claims to reside in a "dank cellar." His recent works, such as "Slewfoot," further showcase his ability to merge chilling horror with richly detailed artwork, cementing his legacy as a master of dark fantasy.
