I'd seen some of these online, so I was delighted to receive this as a Christmas present. I'm sure all readers will not only share at least one (or many more of these fears) but will gain some new ones they had not previously considered!

'Deep Dark Fears' by Fran Krause is a collection of comics based on the imagined fears of the author and some of his readers.

The 101 fears in this book represent are presented in a charmingly gruesome fashion. From falling through the ice and drifting away from where you fell in, to being cut in half by elevators. A lot of fears are passed on from adults to children, like the fear that your guts will fall out if you play with your belly button. According to this book, adults can be jerks sometimes.

These are the kinds of irrational fears that people can have. I confess to having had a few of these or variants. Seeing them illustrated like this makes them ludcirous and kind of funny. I like the art used for the comics with it's normal people and mostly gruesome endings.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Ten Speed Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Creepy revelations along with simple watercolor illustrations. Right up my morbid alley.

A wonderful collection of comics about the oddities of human fear. Great for fans of Jeff Brown.
