Looking for audio book suggestions. I tend to lean more towards the lighter, absurdist, or fun stuff for my audio books, and they can be of any speculative genre. So far I’ve really enjoyed Dungeon Crawler Carl, the Bobiverse, and Hitchhikers guide. Any other suggestions? #booksky

Found my very first white hair in my beard today. The Santafication process has begun.

Of all the classics Moby Dick is by far the funniest and if you disagree I will battle you with a harpoon.

How it Started: Just a quick, spooky, Sasquatch novel. 85k words, tops! How it’s Going: 175k isn’t THAT long, right!? Help. #booksky

For the first time in years my to-read pile has dropped below 10 titles. The urge to go to the book store and financially devastate my family grows by the minute. #booksky

Finally finished Tom’s Crossing (by Mark D). There is too much to compliment, and too much I’ll still be processing in the months to come, other than to say it’s a stunning achievement. A haunting exploration of what we owe the dead, identity, and how myths live within their telling. #booksky

“Turn back, murderer of mothers. Turn back, defiler of innocence. The path you walk is laid with bone, its skies red of blood. Turn back, turn back, turn back, lest thee sup eternal of rage and ruin and coal fire!” Just a quote from today’s session that I quite enjoyed. #booksky

I swear to god this little monster can sense when I’m writing and chooses that moment to unleash absolute chaos over me, my office, and the world. Worst writing partner ever. #booksky

Things I’ve had to research for my next book: 1. Herbal antibiotics. 2. What Mountain Goat tastes like. 3. Bone physics. 4. Obscure 1980s Sword and Sorcery films. 5. Can Pus congeal? I love writing. #booksky #horror

Today I discovered my dog has an upset stomach when he gave himself a shake and unleashed a fecal claymore which splattered the walls, the couch, the floor, and myself. I’m going to be gagging and sobbing for awhile while I scrub the everything.

Judging by the rate I go through socks these last few years I can only conclude that the socks themselves have gone down in quality, or my feet have gone up in their capacity for incredible violence.

Random lore from the cutting room floor: In the first draft of The Light Between Us, Mr. Friend had a human wife who worked as the lunch lady at the local school. She wasn’t a telepath, but she was a cannibal. Meatloaf Monday was very special to her.

Nothing like really enjoying a new book/show/movie only to go online and discover you are wrong, your tastes are wrong, and you are literal proof that God has abandoned us.

I suspect the bed in our Airbnb is secretly a slab of granite pretending to be a mattress. Silver lining is I have gotten more writing done on this trip than any other largely because I keep waking up at five in the morning.

Pretty sure we found the edge of the world map in Olympic National Park. Going to try to no-clip through the fog to find the developmental levels.

In Seattle for our anniversary. Any recommendations for weird or spooky things to see while we are here?

I never liked working out. I know I need to, and the health benefits are undeniable, but I just never got that “exercise high” people talk about. But now after going to the gym three times a week for a year, and adjusting my diet to match I’ve found that- hah, got you. This still sucks.

That feeling you get when you spend two hours refining a scene to perfection, only to realize it is utterly unnecessary and in fact completely breaks your third act. If anyone needs me I’ll be in my screaming hole. #booksky

Just found out that despite having no new episodes in over a year, people are still discovering and binging through Noctivagant. Just rolled over the 25,000 download mark. Welcome to all the new Night Wanderers.

How it started: I want to make Sasquatch as frightening as possible. A true monster, a dark god of the wood! How it’s going: And this is the scene where the Sasquatch mourns his own culpability in a cycle of hatred and generational trauma. Why am I like this? #booksky

Broke 80k words today on draft 1 of “With Eyes Like Coal Fire”. It’s not done, and in fact the 80k milestone means absolutely nothing, but it made me feel like celebrating. For that reason alone I am making Spaghetti. #booksky

I have been made aware of several issues people have had while trying to redeem promo codes for “The Light Between Us” on Audible. I have reported this to get fixed but in the meantime the workaround seems to be redeeming it on your computer, then changing the url from “false” to “true”.

010

Nick Farrant @bearishterror.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Rejoice my friends, The Light Between Us has officially hit Audible! To celebrate I am giving away promo codes for a free download to the first ten people who like and share this post (DM me for code). First come first serve! #booksky #horror #ufo

The Light Between Us will soon be getting an audiobook format, narrated by the immensely talented Michael Neeb!

A full five months later an eagle eyed reader spotted a glaring inconsistency in The Light Between Us. Should be fixed on the new version I just uploaded. Also finally managed to fix a weird spacing issue in one particular sentence of the Ebook version.

Finally reached the point where my current project is starting to look less like a disconnected pile of half formed ideas and more like an honest to god book. Hoping to release sometime next year. Current working title: With Eyes Like Coal Fire.

Finally finished Soundbooth Theater’s version of Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon. As a relative stranger to litRPG I wasn’t sure this would be for me, but the horror elements were top notch and often got my gorge up. And the emotional payoff at the end was more than worth it. One hell of a ride. #booksky

I, like many, was raised to share, to have empathy, and to always try to treat everyone with basic respect and human kindness. Which is why it is so goddamn infuriating to reach adulthood and come to the realization that most with power not only do not share these values, but actively resent them.

Nick Farrant @bearishterror.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

Just finished Mike Bockoven’s “Fantasticland” and it certainly left an impression, and not just because I’m a sucker for horror stories set in theme parks. Not sure if i resonated with every part, but those I did were brutally haunting. Worth a read. #booksky

Spent three hours today clearing out my bookshelves and packing away an entire tote to make room for more books, only to discover so many books hidden behind others that my shelves are still full. Which is a long way to say that if there is ever a house fire me and my office will go up like napalm.

Few things make an authors day like hearing how much a total stranger enjoyed your book. Review that book you loved, it could mean the world to someone.

Nick Farrant @bearishterror.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Spent three hours in bumper to bumper traffic today. But I also saw a bear in the wild for the first time. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Nick Farrant @bearishterror.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Thanks, Jack! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I wrote the bulk of this book while working on the Noctivagant Podcast, and so naturally I had you and the rest of our listeners in mind while I was writing.

Less than 24 hours before the official release of The Light Between Us and I officially have a case of the jitters. I can’t wait to share this weird little story about UFOs, family, sociopaths, and love.

Nick Farrant @bearishterror.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Just one week left until the release of my debut novel, The Light Between Us, and the excitement may actually be killing me. Somewhere between Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Hills Have Eyes, the story focuses on a young couple who find themselves hunted by an enigmatic cult of telepaths.
