Народився у місті Пустомити Львівської області, закінчив Львівський фізико-математичний ліцей та економічний факультет Львівського університету.

В 15 років Любко Дереш написав свій перший роман — «Культ», а виданий він був, коли автору виповнилося вісімнадцять. Книга молодого письменника відразу ж викликала неабияку хвилю пристрасних дебатів у молодіжних кав’ярнях і модних редакціях. Роман був перекладений на кілька іноземних мов.

Згодом вийшли романи Дереша, які стали національними бестселерами («Поклоніння ящірці», «Архе», «Намір!», «Трохи пітьми», «Голова Якова»).
