So there may be a prequel written as that sort of book.
And I'm still slowly sketching out a sequel, which would be set months down the road after the end of 'I Found Puppets.'
But right now I'm finishing up another 'I Found Horror' book about the Boogeyman, and then I'll figure out what I'm writing next.

Thanks for your interest!

Hi Evan!
I've been writing since the 1st grade, when I wrote Batman and Spider-man fan fiction.
My first short stories were published in magazines when I was in college. I published my first novel nearly 15 years later.
So... I've been writing for 32 years, I've been publishing short stories for 17 years, and I've been publishing novels for 4 years.(less)

"Rating: 4,25

As a big fan of the mascot horror genre, I am glad to see more works that explore it emerge in the reading community. It's more common in games and I find that a great pity as it's a recipe for a perfect, nostalgia-fueled atmosphere. This" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Ben Farthing  (?)

“None of it was fair. You spend your adulthood trying to craft a life that feels as safe as early childhood, but the world yanks you farther and farther away.”
Ben Farthing, I Found Puppets Living In My Apartment Walls

“Christmas was the one time of year when everyone had a reason to be happy for no reason.”
Ben Farthing, I Found Christmas Lights Slithering Up My Street

“Jacob interrupted my thoughts. “There’s clowns in there.” My gut twisted just a little. I placed my hand on the back of his neck. “Can you see someone inside there?” “No, but clowns live in red tents.” He was at the age where he constantly asked about how the world worked. “At the doctor they give you shots?” “Saws are for cutting boards, but hammers are for nails?” “When I’m five, I will be as tall as you?” His declaration about clowns living in red tents must be a law of the universe that he’d extrapolated from a picture book or Disney Plus cartoon.”
Ben Farthing, I Found a Circus Tent in the Woods Behind My House
