Eirik Gumeny, is a prolific and snarky writer known for his dark humor and unique voice. He is the author of the cult-favorite Exponential Apocalypse series. His writing has appeared in prominent publications such as WIRED, Cracked, Nerdist, SYFY, and The New York Times.

In 2014, Eirik received a bilateral lung transplant at Stanford Hospital. His writing style is marked by its irreverent tone and candidness about living with a severe chronic illness.

Eirik resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife Monica and their two pups.

Currently, Eirik is hospitalized on a ventilator, confronting serious health challenges. Your support during this incredibly hard time means a lot to his family, and he’d probably add a cheeky remark about it, too. Any help you can offer will make a significant difference.

The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) helps children and young adults who need a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support. COTA is the nation’s only fundraising organization solely dedicated to raising life-saving dollars in honor of transplant-needy children and young adults. 100% of each contribution made to COTA in honor of our patients helps meet transplant-related expenses. COTA’s services are free to our families, and gifts to COTA are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
