By Chris Castleberry

GODS and MONSTERS is a collection of the first four novels by award-winning author, Chris Castleberry, written and published under his real name, C. Eric Powell, between 2011 and 2015. In this collection you'll find stories like, ROCKSTAR REDEMPTION: Struggling singer/songwriter, Rocky Johnson, makes a pact with the Devil to become the biggest superstar on the planet. But what happens when the Devil comes back to collect? Now, Rocky must try to beat the Devil at his own game before time runs out and he forever becomes the demon's plaything. And, just maybe, the secret lies in his old life he tried so desperately to run away from. // MY ANGEL, MY LOVE: One of Heaven's mightiest warriors, Azrael, has carried out his duties for twelve millennia as the Angel of Death without question. But now he faces emotions and intrusive thoughts he never believed possible when he falls in love with his latest mission, Felicia-a young, but cancer-stricken waitress he has been ordered to transport to Hell upon her death. Azrael begins questioning the authority and motives of the Almighty, and his love for Felicia is causing a damning dissension in his heart toward his Creator. Lucifer is a constant tempter and Azrael can't help but believe that what Lucifer says makes a lot of sense. Now he must make a decision: Does he do the unthinkable and fall away from Heaven, rescue Felicia, and possibly start a war with Heaven itself, or does he maintain his allegiance with a Creator he secretly believes is flawed and unjustified in His actions? Azrael walks the razor's edge between loyalty and betrayal-a dangerous place no other angel has dared to tread, except Lucifer himself. // IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M DEAD: Kayla Parker is from the wrong side of town. Constantly made fun of, she dreams of a day when she is accepted like everyone else. Mitch Riley is the new kid in town, who comes in and causes an uproar when he dethrones the star athlete, Devon Taylor. Much to Kayla's surprise, Mitch shows an interest in her.

She battles constantly with the demons of depression and suicide, and one night gives in to their demands. She writes Devon a letter.
