I didn't have this experience with my parents who both had narcissistic traits with my dad being the classic textbook example. I have seen this in friendships that have ended, though. My college roommate/ ex best friend comes to mind. It was seeing her true colors and DARVO response when I confronted her about hurtful behavior.

Oh boy, am I glad this thing got out before Halloween lol

Have you ever seen a 1980s body horror abomination and thought "I want to hold their hand/tentacle/vaguely insect-ish limb"? I sure did, so I wrote a horror love story and decided to publish it as a romance novel! It'd be my honour to introduce you to Christopher and Gyth, eldritch sweethearts ♡

Synopsis of "Far Beyond The Moon"

The life of 38-year-old Christopher Ennington is in shambles. Battered by abuse, disease and loneliness, he cannot believe his luck when he crosses paths with a mysterious stranger. Gyth is kind, dreamy, and just as much of an outsider as Christopher. Birds of a feather flock together. But people in rural Massachusetts do not take kindly to this blossoming relationship. It is only when Christopher learns of Gyth’s true nature that his world starts to finally change – and he himself with it.

Cosmic horror and body horror entangled in a steamy queer romance – literally!

More about "Far Beyond The Moon"

118,000+ words

409 pages for you to devour

14 chapters full of hurt/comfort

7 smut scenes with eldritch body horror

2 loners who finally find their perfect match

1 cosmic-mad, brain-melting, sweet-as-honey romance

and too many tentacles to count!

.

Since it deals with trauma and mental illness and serves as an abuse survivour fantasy, parts of the book are fairly dark even outside of the body horror genre aspects. I have written this very much in the spirit of a hurt/comfort fanfic. Still, I encourage you to check out the CWs on my carrd before buying or renting the book.

By now it should be available internationally; I have been told US stores need a bit longer. There is a special e-book discount until 6 December 2023 that you might wanna take into consideration! (I will say that I have no control over international prices of the paperback though. It had to be at least 14€ to cover the printing costs but is often more expensive in stores outside of my country.)

Overall, I hope this story reaches its right audience lol, it does venture into ero guro territory at times after all. And I've already found several typos in it (rip). That said, holding this book in my hands, I am insanely proud of it and its story. Seeing yourself in "the other", SA as body horror etc. etc. (To be very honest my therapist loudly encouraged me to publish this lol) The two main characters are adults and very much two dads™, though without any mpreg, for those who want to know.

I want to revise this book very badly for a second edition because I'd like it to be as perfect as possible, but that depends on how well this baby sells in the first place. Maybe give the eldritch sweethearts a try!! If not, I'd be happy if you still spread the word ♡

OC Interview Tag

Ooh so excited to do this! Thank you very much for the tag @winglesswriter 💙

I will be answering for Christopher, the MC of Far Beyond The Moon.

Are you named after anyone?

[exhales] Maybe after a grandfather that I didn't get to know? My mother never talked much about our family. Maybe I'll skip this one.

When was the last time you cried?

... Can I skip this one?

Do you have any kids?

Yes! Allison just turned seven. She's just the best. [smiles]

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

When I do say something ironic or sarcastic, people tend to not understand me correctly right away... so I try not to. It's too awkward.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

Whether or not they're friendly.

What is your eye color?

Blue! Couple of baby blues.

Any special talents?

I used to play the piano. I don't know if that counts as a talent? [laughs] I do still play the guitar from time to time. And I used to sing.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings! [lying]

Where were you born?

Westfield Hospital, Massachusetts. It's the nearest hospital from my hometown Hillsburg.

Do you have any pets?

Sadly no! I would love to have a dog, but I don't have the time. I volunteer at Helping Paw – I don't think you've heard of it, it's a tiny dog shelter just outside of Hillsburg. We've got some amazing dogs there.

How tall are you?

6'1. I'm told I'd be taller if my posture wasn't this bad.

What was your favorite subject in school?

English, if I had to choose, I guess. Loved the theater club though! I was even in a high school band! [laughs]

What is your dream job?

Tough question! I'd love to have my own shelter someday. But the job I'm working right now isn't too bad, so I don't think about... dreams, I guess. Aw, man, that sounds depressing! [laughs]

.

Oh my god, that was such fun!! I've only ever answered as the author about the character, so this was very different. Let's tag a few people, but no pressure!

@mikathewriter, @verba-writing, @alinacapellabooks, @tryingtowritestuff24 + open tag for anyone who wants to do this!

But what if the eldritch abomination remembers you and returns to your world?

That world’s energy is still in its body. That will guide it back, to that time and place where it has crashed from outside that universe.

The question of wisdom flickers awake once more when the world around it solidifies in all its horrors. But even if this is unwise, it is right.

The mass does not percolate by the trees though, and not by the metal or in the sparks of electricity. Instead, its body oozes onto warm flesh. Heaving, breathing. Crying. Its tears are different from the rain. They are warm and salty and hard to escape from, pulling at the mass’ mind.

What is this connection?

The flesh is not unknown. The creature remembers it from its state of pain, when kindness provided security in the face of death and noise and brightness.

It will guard this flesh, this Human, as it always guards those in need. If this connection is as stable as its dimension, they will find their ways back to each other with but a wish.

This is not fear.

Certitude sinks into the mass, its body and mind and everything in-between.

One eldritch encounter... ♡

Christopher is unsure how this is supposed to work. If it was supposed to work at all. But the one thing he knows is: he needs it to work.

Throwing back his head, eyes closed, he uses his left hand to guide Gyth to his dick. Gyth lets him. At first, it feels wrong. Then again, Christopher thinks absentmindedly, people say gay sex is wrong. So, he could just as well be with an eldritch monster in the first place.

His voice is but a breathy hiss when the tentacle slides against his sensitive skin. He gasps as Gyth lifts him up higher, slow and careful, to have better access to his lower half. He curls his tentacle around the base of Christopher’s dick – slick and slow, it twirls around it, to the tip.

Christopher bends his back, fighting the urge to thrust forward. The sensation of Gyth’s hot tentacle is incredible – it gently rubs against the slit on his glans – and then pulls him forward by his cock with just the right amount of force.

Following the motion, back and forth once more, Christopher stifles a moan. His ass is steadied by the powerful bouquet of tentacles behind him, caressing his buttcheeks, twirling around his trembling legs. And arms. He won’t fall down, he’s safe and sound in place.

They quickly find their rhythm. Christopher now gives in to the temptation of looking at Gyth’s giant body in front of him – below him, too. Everchanging shreds of floating flesh, stroking him here and there. The whale song returns, cradling Christopher beautifully in this warm embrace.

Gyth wraps gentle tendrils around his wrists, where he must undoubtedly feel Christopher’s pulse going crazy. When his eyes flutter close again, more tentacles travel up his body. Not to overtake him but to stroke his chest. Gyth attaches suckers to his torso, over his nipples, and starts sucking gently in all those places, sending sparks of pleasure through Christopher’s pliant body.

A loud moan tears from his mouth, followed by labored breaths, and he desperately leans into the touch – God, he feels dirty right now –

Rhythmically, Gyth squeezes his dick. He is beautifully curled around it. He attaches the tiny suckers by the tentacle’s tip to Christopher’s glans to mirror the sucking on his nipples, wet and hot and soft.

He’s so big but his touches so focused, so controlled…

It is unbelievable, Christopher will think later, to be had by an eldritch abomination that he knows could tear him limb from limb but feeling safe under its touch. Not being creeped out. Not caring where up and down is anymore.
