Kerr Martin Author

01/21/2026

I’m Kerr Martin.
I write because this is what I was born to do. The work is here. The art is here. I’m in the middle of the grind and past the point of doubt. This isn’t a phase or a hobby but a body of work that’s growing every day.
This page isn’t about hype or comfort. It’s about honesty, unpredictability, and showing up again and again to build something undeniable. Fiction. Poetry. Worlds. Characters. Teeth.
If you’re here, you’re not just watching. You’re part of the inner circle. The ones who know what I mean and see it before the world will.
The Kerr Clan.
I’m not stopping.
You’re welcome to come with me.

Scottish-born storyteller in the Carolinas. Writer. Poet. Vampire with a holy heart. Author of Musings of the Teenage Vampire. I feed on curiosity and craft worlds with blood and fire. Join the Kerr Clan, and let's build something unforgettable. Click to read Guerrilla Literature and the Avant-garde...

Dangerous. Dark. Delicious. If you're a poetry lover looking for the next cool kid on the corner then he's right here with his newest poem. Is "Deathsquad for Daddy" a brutal takedown of pretty-boy idol worship, or a savage call for justice against the untouchable? Maybe both. Maybe neither. Read it, and decide for yourself.

This is Tragic Romanticism. This is American Gothic. This is Modern Existentialism. This is post-hardcore.
This is Paramount.

Hey all, it's been a minute. I'm sure you're used to this stop-start posting from me by now, but I promise you it doesn't come from a lack of care, I assure you of that. I don't know what it is, my mind wanders off in directions that I never quite come back from until I realize that I haven't done one of the million things I wanted, or was supposed to, get around to. I'm sure it's an undiagnosed kind of something but I'm not going to self-diagnose so for the moment it's going to remain undiagnosed. I've always been told I'm easily distracted. It's probably that. Starting project after project that never gets fully finished. It's been the bane of my existence. What I have been keeping up with however is writing. There's new content pretty much every day and, outside of a couple of paywalled posts for those who have been kind enough to financially support me in this endeavour, they're available for free subscribers! Please click the link below and check out some of my new pieces, I'm sure you won't regret it. Join the Kerr Clan today.
