Room 100

Jesse P. Pollack was born and raised in the garden state of New Jersey and has served as a contributing writer for Weird NJ magazine since 2001. His first book, Death on the Devil’s Teeth, coauthored with Mark Moran, was published in 2015 to critical acclaim and was nominated for a New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance Author Award. His 2018 follow-up, The Acid King, was hailed by the School Library Journal as an “exciting and captivating true crime page-turner.” Also an accomplished musician, Pollack’s soundtrack work has been heard on Driving Jersey, an Emmy-nominated PBS documentary series. He is married with two children, three dogs, three fish, and a cat and lives in Fort Recovery, Ohio.

Room 100: Sid, Nancy, and the Night Punk Rock Died walks the line between true crime and rock history book seamlessly.
