Erik J. Eggers writes dark, character-driven fiction at the crossroads of noir, horror, and psychological suspense. A career-long veteran of the financial and mortgage markets, he has spent more than thirty years navigating the pressures of capital markets, trading, and technology — the same forces of risk, greed, and human frailty that run through his stories.
A lifelong storyteller, Erik spent decades writing fiction that lived only on his hard drives before finally stepping into the public eye. His debut novella, The Pitch — a high-finance noir with a supernatural edge, begun during the 2007 subprime crisis — marks the first of that long-archived work to reach readers.
He lives in Texas, where he splits his time between writing, working in financial technology, and a steady regimen of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and resistance training. He is the founder of Kelcourt Capital and the proud father of three grown children.
Readers who enjoy Dennis Lehane, Don Winslow, and Stephen King's darker work will feel at home here.
