The transformation implied here is a change in consciousness, in the way of seeing the world, in seeing yourself, in changing who you are and by doing thus, changing the world. The process of change is unconventional but not without respect to the past, and also open to everyone. Incorporating storytelling, music, philosophy, psychology, magick, and more Love Chaos takes a holistic approach to transformation. To transform ourselves into works of art.

Derek Hunter is a writer of fiction and non-fiction, and the founder of Love Chaos, a non-dogmatic, agnostic philosophy and way of life. Hunter created Love Chaos in 2014 with the publication of the first book, Love Chaos. It was conceived as a means for Hunter to help himself in a dark time in his life, and also to help others. Love Chaos grew and developed as he grew and developed, resulting in the publication of the second book to Love Chaos, Love Chaos in Theory and Practice in 2019, then culminating in 2020's The End of the World.
Hunter recently completed a decades long project, The Story of Us All Trilogy, with Book One: Black (2018), Book Two: White (2021), and Book Three: Red (2022). The three tales found within the trilogy, which were told episodically from book to book, have also been released as separate novels: Parzival, The Divine Chaos, and Faust. To find out more, go to each book's page on this website and the links to buy them are above.
The works of fiction that Hunter has written and published defy standard genre categorization. They are not experimental since the main focus of the books are to tell a story, and yet they seek to entertain in unconventional ways, especially when compared with modern fiction writing. Novels, short story collections, and trilogies, they explore the depths of human psychology and relationships while also penetrating the bizarre and unsettling nature to existence. The tragic, absurd, and dramatic is part of the characters' journeys but also just as much is their joy, humor, and triumphs.
All aspects to Hunter's work is inter-connected to one another, through his philosophy of Love Chaos. Each separate part though - a book, an album, Love Chaos itself - can be appreciated and enjoyed separately.
