Jeromy Baumbach

Jeromy Baumbach has built a long and successful career in the pest management industry — more than three decades of crawl spaces, attics, and the dark corners of other people's homes. He has seen what lives behind the walls of ordinary houses, and he's learned that the family upstairs almost never knows the whole truth about the space they sleep in.

He loves the work. Thirty years in, he still does — and that's exactly what makes his fiction unsettling. It's written by a man who goes into the dark on purpose, and enjoys what he finds there. His psychological thrillers dwell in the hidden layer beneath every quiet town, among people who have learned not to hear what's moving underneath.

He lives and writes in Nebraska.
