[United States], [11-28-2024] – Human relationships are complex; sometimes, they can push you to a point where you are the recipient of unimaginable pain and suffering.
In his book, Caress of the Bête Noire, acclaimed author Samuel P. Frearson presents a raw and compelling exploration of the complexities of abusive relationships and the journey of personal growth. Frearson bravely navigates the turbulent waters of his own life, recounting a harrowing journey marked by child abuse, domestic violence, threats of murder-suicide, and the profound impact of living through a 0.8 narcissistic earthquake.
His latest work offers an unflinching look at his struggles, weaving a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relevant. Through his storytelling, Fearson sheds light on the pervasive issue of abuse and its far-reaching effects on individuals and their relationships. His story is not just about survival; it’s also about transformation and growth, illustrating how even the most devastating experiences can lead to profound personal insights and healing.
“Writing Caress of the Bête Noire was an act of catharsis for me,” says Frearson. “It was important for me to share my story - not just to highlight the pain I endured, but to offer hope and a path to recovery for others who might be struggling with similar issues.”
Grounded in his own experiences, Fearson gives voice to the often-silenced victims of abuse. His account of living through a narcissistic earthquake—a term he uses to describe the seismic impact of narcissistic abuse on his life—offers a unique perspective on the emotional and psychological damage inflicted by manipulative and abusive behavior.

Frearson’s courage in sharing his story contributes to the broader conversation about abuse and self-growth, encouraging others to seek help and find their paths to healing.
Caress of the Bête Noire is now available on Amazon.
About the Author
Samuel P. Frearson is the esteemed author of the exhilarating book Caress of The Bête Noire. He is a proud citizen of the United States. When he first began writing his book, he was in the middle of losing his farm to divorce. Samuel was homeless, living in motels and hotels for two years while writing most of the memoir. Three motivating factors kept him writing during this time. First, writing and talking about his situation had a calming effect on him. Second, he hoped that his story could help others pull themselves out of a life lived under the thumb of a narcissist or abuser. Third, being homeless and working a minimum-wage job, he saw his story as an opportunity to make money, pay off his remaining debts, and possibly buy a new farm to live happily ever after.
