Standard Bio:

Nicholas Binge is a bestselling author and screenwriter. He writes speculative thrillers that blend big sci-fi concepts with psychological horror, as well as crime and thriller novels under the pseudonym Nick Brucker, with his crime debut White Smoke set to release in 2027.

In 2023, his breakout novel Ascension was a New York Times Editor's Choice Pick, finalist for the Goodreads' Choice Awards and Ignotus Award, and named a ‘best book of the year’ by Vulture, Goodreads, The LA Times, and The Sunday Times. His sophomore novel, Dissolution, was hailed as one of the best thrillers of 2025 by The New York Times and other leading outlets, and was followed swiftly by the critically acclaimed novellas Extremity and Abyss.

His work has been, or is being, translated into over 30 languages and several of his novels are in active development for either film or TV. Notably, Dissolution is being adapted into a major motion picture by Sony Pictures, with Oscar-nominated screenwriter Eric Heisserer (Arrival, Birdbox) penning the script, and White Smoke is being adapted into a prestige TV series by A24, with Benedict Cumberbatch starring in the lead. Ascension and Extremity are also in active development for film and TV, respectively. He is also creating and writing Understudy, a TV show for Netflix, alongside Steven Yeun, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller.

Binge has lived across Asia and Europe — from Singapore to Switzerland to Hong Kong —before settling in the UK, where he writes and co-hosts the Binge Reading Book Club podcast. Beyond fiction, he has written for The Guardian, Literary Hub, and other leading outlets, and is a regular speaker at book festivals across the UK and internationally.

His next book, Exhumation, arrives October 2026. To stay updated on new releases and appearances, sign up to his newsletter or follow him on Bluesky.
