If you’re willing to overlook the C. Derick Miller name on the covers, then I have a deal for you. Several of my titles are leftover from before “the change” and I’d like to be rid of them. These books are seven bucks each plus $5 shipping. Here’s what I got…

This anthology, now published by Dead Sky Media, was runner up for Splatterpunk Anthology of the Year in 2020. It lost to its cousin And Hell Followed. My short story Nemesis is in this one.

Have you ever wished you could get revenge on someone, but the idea of prison, or bloodstains on your clothes made you decide against it? Now you can enjoy the arterial spray, and the joy of someone getting what they deserve from the relative comfort of your favorite reading spot. Twenty-two tales of not turning the other cheek. We take you down the low road, the road less traveled. Whether you like your revenge served red hot, or ice cold, you will find both within these pages. Be warned, you can’t travel to the pit and come away clean. Payback is a bitch. If you come seeking revenge, it is best that you dig two graves.

Check out this list of names. My story Hellfire and Blood is in this one.

Shut Up & Bleed: Western Horror Anthology brings together the talents of horror authors: Katie Berry, Christine Morgan, Tim Curran, C. Derick Miller, Megan Stockton, B. L. Blankenship, Chuck Buda, Mawr Gorshin, Merrill David, and Jon Steffens in an epic display of 19th Century Terror.

A small press put this together to gain attention to the Six Flags fiasco of 2023. IYKYK.

Ladies and gentlemen I am beyond proud to announce the authors who will be participating in what will hopefully be the first of an annual fundraiser to create a legal defense fund for all indie horror creators. We live in a dangerous day and age when the overly vocal minority seem to have an unbalanced amount of power. Guilty people want to ban or burn books. People who want to keep the status quo want authors and artist punished for their creative vision. It is my pleasure to light the path and my honor to be associated with these gifted writers. Join us or stay sane!

This has some of my short stories from the past few years. The only change is the name on the cover.

“This profound collection of horror brings classic monsters into new light in the modern day” – B.L. Blankenship, God Walks The Dark Hills series.

The modern world is a crazy place. Worrying about childish politicians, empty grocery store shelves, and our pending membership to the “global disease of the week” club, it leaves very little time for the average reader to finish an entire novel. This is where Six from Five Seven: Short Stories from a Short Man comes in clutch! A story per day to keep the impending apocalypse away, with a single day left over to contemplate why you purchased this book in the first place. That sounds like an entertaining week when compared to the one you were destined to have regardless. What do a cursed husband, a privileged brat, a curious prostitute, a repressed savior, a vengeful son, and two hell-bound soldiers have in common? Their stories lie within the pages of this collection and invite you to tag along on their journeys of fate, redemption, and demise. When finished, you, dear reader, can hide this book inside your basement with the rest of those important documents you wished you’d never taken home. The FBI won’t be happy, but at least they’ll know you’re a cool person for owning a copy while conducting the raid. That must count for something, right? Let’s hope the judge thinks so!

This is exactly what it says it is. I wrote half of these while traveling the country. I wrote the other half during the lockdown. It’s an interesting contrast in tone.

Poetry has always come naturally to me. Whether it is an expression of emotion toward someone I care about, or a display of humor pointed in the direction of those I loathe, it is my true outlet. Several of these works were written in a passenger seat while exploring the highways of the United States and somehow managed to survive “The Great Ex-Wife/Ex-Girlfriend Poetry Purge” of 2019. Others were penned during COVID-19 quarantine. Although it may not be the most epic poetry collection you’ve ever read, it all contains bits of blood and soul. You will feel something. Guaranteed.

This book is cursed. It triggered a decade of shadows in my personal life that changed who I am as a person. It ended marriages, childhood friendships, and lifelong dreams. Even the original Death’s Head Press cover has a dead woman’s hand on it. I wish none of this were true. Still…it’s a great story! The only thing is…the cover has that loser’s name on it.

“Someone call DC and tell them this is how you write a female hero character!” – Lisa Lee Tone, Bibliophelia Templum

Angel Burns is a young firefighter with a shrouded history. During a routine night at work, she stumbles upon a demonic ceremony that brings her memories out of hiding – as well as her repressed supernatural powers. Angel soon learns her life was intended for things greater than extinguishing fires for mortals. Now on the payroll of the Vatican, Angel embarks upon an epic quest to protect the Gutenberg Bibles from evil. If successful, she will secure peace for generations. If she fails, the power of the ancient books will bestow an eternity of darkness upon all humanity!

My first fiction novel from way back in 2010. I will love these characters for the rest of my life.

Toby Liberman is nearing the end of his rope. After a fateful confrontation with his wife’s lover, he is chased into the woods only to be discovered by an unidentifiable creature. He is attacked and rendered unconscious. Upon waking at the scene of a gruesome triple homicide, Toby is arrested as the sole suspect and thrown into a jail cell with a strange man that knows way too much about his predicament. The stranger reveals to Toby that he now possesses the curse of the werewolf. Using his new-found strength to flee his captors, Toby begins to discover that things are not what they seem in the sleepy town of Twin Oaks, TX. Now hunted by law enforcement, as well as the town’s gun toting civilians, Toby seeks vengeance against his false accusers and embarks upon a quest to clear his name once and for all.

Of all my works, this is my personal favorite. I was living at the bottom of the barrel in an alcoholic haze. I was going through a divorce and in a complicated, toxic relationship. This is my Empire Strikes Back. This is dark.

A Curse Beyond Comprehension. A Power Beyond Belief. A Girl Far From Home. Katie Liberman is your typical eighteen-year-old college student…or at least that’s what her family thinks. Picking up five years after the events of A Taste of Home, Katie has dropped out of school and embarked upon a dangerous quest to find Kurt Jimmerson, the New York City attorney responsible for her family’s werewolf curse. Unknown to her, the attorney’s grip on the ‘City That Never Sleeps’ is tighter than imagined and she’ll need any and all help available to be victorious. But… where do you find friends when you’re Far From Home?

I wrote this in sobriety. This book represents a course correction in my life that released on my 50th birthday. I was told lately that this trilogy is a roadmap for my life from an outsider’s perspective. I never thought about it like that. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

Twin Oaks, Texas is at war! Taking place immediately after the Far From Home events in New York City, Katie Liberman has returned to rescue her birthplace from the clutches of her nemesis. As the paranormal battle of North vs. South rages in the shadows, the tiny town must decide to fight against the odds or become one with the darkness. Blood will be shed and only one will survive as the final battle of the Home Series concludes.

Get ’em while they last! I’m getting old and don’t want to carry a lot of boxes to cons. Whatever doesn’t sell, I’ll give away on the prize wheel at Texas Author & Reader Con on July 19th & 20th. Peace.
