Ghost Guitar

TJ DOOM lives off the grid in a crumbling mansion at the edge of a dark and windswept forest. Surrounded by creepy old portraits that appear to watch – and judge – the writer's every move, DOOM spends the long, haunted nights crafting sinister stories designed to do just one thing: mess with your head. His tales are precision engineered for maximum dread. Some say that if DOOM’s books are cracked open after midnight, the creatures inside won’t just haunt your dreams, they’ll crawl out of the pages and come looking for you.

TJ DOOM doesn’t do interviews. Doesn’t sign autographs. Won’t even pose for a photo. Naturally, this has fuelled rumours that the writer is an ancient, blood-sucking vampire whose image can never be caught on camera. Because DOOM is always uncontactable, this cannot be confirmed. Or denied.

Nahum Ziersch was born and raised in the Clare Valley in South Australia. From a very young age he knew he wanted to draw for a living, surrounded by very artistic parents who encouraged and nurtured his passion. As a kid he would watch Astro Boy and stacks of other cartoons in his PJs, devour comics and draw his own imaginative worlds and characters. Nahum works as a freelance illustrator in Adelaide. While his main areas of work include editorial, advertising and educational illustrations, he still has a mad passion for creating quirky and expressive characters.
