Hailing a small country town in Western Australia, RJ Derby discovered his passion for writing at the age of ten. Inspired by his mother’s unique ability to unlock the imagination, he began a lifelong journey of storytelling, intertwining his fascination with the macabre and the psychological depths of the human mind. RJ Derby draws from the literary mastery of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, H.P. Lovecraft, and Edgar Allan Poe, crafting stories that explore the darker corners of human nature. His work is further enriched by the philosophical insights of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and T.S. Eliot. Influential works like The Shining, Beyond Good and Evil, and The Waste Land have shaped his distinctive voice, blending elements of horror and thriller with deeply thought-provoking themes. With a diploma in psychology, RJ brings a profound depth to his characters, creating complex personas that resonate with readers. His stories delve into fear, morality, and human vulnerability, drawing readers into vivid, immersive worlds where the boundary between reality and imagination fades. In addition to being a writer, RJ Derby is a digital artist, philosopher, and poet, bringing a multidisciplinary perspective to his creative endeavours. When not immersed in his craft, he enjoys the quiet rhythms of rural life—an idyllic setting that fuels his chilling tales and unforgettable characters. His goal is to leave readers simultaneously unsettled and enthralled, lingering in the vivid, haunting worlds he creates.
