Career
Maberry was born in Kensington, Philadelphia, attended Frankford High School, and then went on to Temple University. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, he began learning martial arts at the age of 6, and this became the topic of his early books, such as Judo and You (Kendall Hunt 1990), Ultimate Jujutsu (Strider Nolan, 2002) and Ultimate Sparring (Strider Nolan 2003).
Author
In the next phase of his career, he departed from martial arts writing and wrote several books on the folklore and beliefs of the occult and paranormal, including Vampire Universe: The Dark World of Supernatural Beings That Haunt Us, Hunt Us and Hunger for Us (Citadel Press, 2006), The Cryptopedia, co-authored by David F. Kramer (2007), Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead (2008), and They Bite (also with David F. Kramer, 2009).

Dance The Night
by: MayberryThere she goes walking down the stairs
Lipsticks on and she's ready to go
She slows down in hesitation, yeah
But i let her know she's beautiful
But tonight this town is ours
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They're never gonna slow slow slow us down
We'll light a match and burn this city down
And this is my heart and this is my soul
And i'll dance the night with the girl i love the most
And i don't care if we ever leave
Its everything a dream could be
Her hands around my neck
My hands are at her waist
As all of our plans fall into place
But tonight this town is ours
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They're never gonna slow slow slow us down
We'll light a match and burn this city down
And this is my heart and this is my soul
And i'll dance the night with the girl i love the most
With the girl i love the most, Oh baby hold on tight lets make this right.
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They'll never bring me down down hold me down
We'll ride around and sing sing sing out loud
And we'll run away and sail to the coast
And i'll spend the night
They're never gonna slow slow slow us down
We'll light a match and burn this city down
And this is my heart and this is my soul
