You’ve Just Crawled Inside…

Hey there, fellow dark-story lovers,

Whether you’ve been following my books for a while or you’re just stepping into the madness, I’m glad you’re here. This newsletter is where I’ll share my latest projects, sneak peeks, and maybe even some outrageous behind-the-scenes stories (because horror writing isn’t always as terrifying as it looks — sometimes it’s downright hilarious). Let’s have some fun in the dark together.

Welcome to the circle.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to be part of the creative process.

One of the most exciting (and sometimes most challenging) parts of bringing a book to life is choosing the right cover. For Everything I Learned About Vampires from Watching Dracula Was Wrong, I wanted an image that captured both the dark, gothic atmosphere of a vampire story and the playful twist hinted at in the title. The cover had to walk a fine line — eerie enough to promise danger, but not so traditional that it felt like every other vampire book on the shelf. After exploring several concepts, I finally landed on a design that reflects the novel’s blend of horror, humor, and the unexpected. It’s a reminder that sometimes the scariest creatures are hiding just outside the familiar stories we think we know.

Help me choose respond which one in an email reply.

Werewolves and Vampires

Night Creatures Coming and Everything I Learned About Vampires from Watching Dracula Was Wrong deliver two distinct yet equally thrilling horror adventures from Brett Gilliland. In Night Creatures Coming, a relentless werewolf terror descends upon a remote railway line, where the shadows hide more than just the predator stalking the night. It’s a tense, atmospheric tale of survival against a monstrous force. Meanwhile, Everything I Learned About Vampires from Watching Dracula Was Wrong flips the classic vampire mythos on its head, blending dark humor with genuine terror as an unlikely protagonist learns—often the hard way—that the truth about vampires is far stranger and deadlier than any movie ever taught him. Together, these books offer fans a blood-pumping mix of supernatural horror, suspense, and unexpected twists.
