About

i4Seer

Stories that watch back. Devices that think ahead.

The Company

Institute for Seer LLC (i4Seer) is an independent publisher and technology studio. We are two things at once — a horror fiction house and an IoT hardware shop — and we think that is a feature, not a contradiction.


The books and the devices share one instinct: pay attention to what is actually happening. Our fiction is about people who see something they are not supposed to see. Our hardware is about putting eyes on things that were never watched. Different outputs, same reflex.


We publish and build from the United States. Everything you see on this site is ours — the stories, the cover art, the firmware, the cloud, the prose, the schematics. We do not license. We do not white-label. We ship under our own name because we stand behind every line.

What We Do

Two halves of one studio. Fiction on one side, hardware on the other.

Our Books

Three series, three voices, three audiences. Written by B. Carter, a Native American computer engineer, veteran, and lifelong reader of adventure books, manga, and comics.

SEER FRIGHTS

Middle-grade horror. Smart scares, real mysteries, and a device the villain built that readers can actually make. Three books live.

SEER FAIRIES

Dark fae horror for upper middle grade and lower YA. Ancient European fae waking in American towns where the rules have been forgotten.

SEER WARNS

Adult literary horror. Standalone novels about ordinary people who receive warnings so precise they cannot be doubted — and walk into the fire anyway.

SEER Tick

SEER Tick is our IoT monitoring platform. Rugged, battery-efficient LoRaWAN sensors, private gateways, a secure cloud console, and email & Teams alerts — built for operators who need focused simplicity instead of bloated commercial suites.


Microsoft and Google sign-in. Fleet-scoped roles. Threshold and silence alerts with quiet hours. Full audit with CSV export. Bearer tokens for Grafana and Power BI. Rate-limited ingest. Years of battery life per sensor. Live at tick.i4seer.com.

The Authors

Original horror fiction by independent voices.

B. CARTER

Seer Frights · Seer Fairies · Seer Warns

Native American computer engineer, veteran, rock collector, hiker, and lifelong reader of adventure books, manga, and comics. PhD in Computer Engineering and Computer Science.


When he is not writing, he is hiking with a backpack full of sensors, seeing what happens when circuits meet the real world. The Seer Frights series started from a simple thought: the best scary stories are the ones where you can build the thing that scared you. The SEER Tick IoT platform grew out of that hardware research.
