Welcome to the circle.

— Brett Gilliland

The Dumb Luck and Dead Things series is a nine-book horror-comedy saga that gleefully spirals further into madness with each installment. So far, three books have been released, introducing readers to a world where absurd coincidences, supernatural mishaps, and wildly improbable disasters collide in the most ridiculous ways imaginable. Each story cranks the chaos higher, blending sharp wit, over-the-top horror scenarios, and a cast of unlucky characters who somehow keep stumbling into even stranger, deadlier trouble. By the time you finish the third book, you’ll realize the ride has only just begun — and the remaining six promise to be even more insane, unpredictable, and delightfully unhinged.

The Game series is a four-part dark fantasy adventure that plunges readers into a world where the mind itself becomes the ultimate battleground. The first two books — The Game: Enter the Darkness of Your Mind and The Game: The Wayward King — have already drawn readers into a high-stakes realm of power, danger, and psychological twists. Each installment pushes the boundaries of imagination, blending supernatural menace with heart-pounding suspense as the characters face threats that blur the line between reality and nightmare. Books three and four are on the horizon, promising even greater revelations, deeper dangers, and a finale that will leave readers breathless.

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.
