He is the author or coauthor of 12 books and counting, among them Stuff Every Husband Should Know (Quirk Books 2011), A Year of Hitchcock (Scarecrow Press 2009) and his latest, 2020’s The Films of Martin Scorsese: Gangsters, Greed, and Guilt.

He was the beer writer for the Philadelphia Weekly for two years, has written for Homebrew Talk, and (very rarely) maintains a craft beer blog.

Eric’s work has appeared in the Philadelphia Weekly, the legendary Weird Tales magazine, Boston Literary Magazine, and many others. He has written thousands of features, columns, SEO pieces, press releases, and just about anything else you can name. He has also written copy for dozens of websites For several years he was Editor-in-Chief of a now defunct film and entertainment website, and spent 13 years as a full-time journalist, many of them as an Editor-in-Chief.

He’s also a social media marketer specializing in creating content for small businesses on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. He’s also co-hosted a long-running indie YouTube show, has appeared on numerous shows to discuss film and television, had co-hosted two podcast series, and more.

He really dislikes writing this in the third person.

Eric lives at the Jersey Shore with his wife and son, where he grows vegetables, records space music, and makes model terrain.

He realizes he should probably get a good head shot taken, but it would feel so vain you’d probably think this page was about him. You can find him on Linkedin, though the truth is that he isn’t there all that often. He’s deleted his other personal social media accounts and instead focuses on his clients.
