A certain person who gave me this book as a present knows me VERY well. I'm glad this lives on my shelf. I loved how some of these were genuinely disturbing in a deeply terrifying way, and some were just hilarious. The art and the words balance perfectly. SUCH a good concept for a comic. It makes me want to send in a fear -- and made me think about which fear I would send in.
This was one of the most unique books I have ever read. I thoroughly enjoyed it! However, at some of them I was legitimately disturbed.
Not about to ruin this book's 4.0. Loved the art and some of the fears were relatable.

I have been following Krause's work on Instagram for a while now and was delighted when I learned that his "Deep Dark Fears" series was manifesting in a printed hard cover book. A great read that is visually pleasing, both charming and disquieting, and also rather profound at times. I found myself laughing aloud in moments and then at times pondering the inter workings of human thought. Highly recommend.

I used to love seeing the Deep Dark Fears comics on tumblr. So I didn't hesitate for a second when I came across this book in a library. I recognise some of the comic strips included in this collection, while others are new to me.
There's a good mix of fears that are surprisingly touching or a bit funny, ones that made me go "uh oh, new fear unlocked" (these comprised both plausible and more unlikely examples), and... some that don't really sound like fears at all? I guess the artist wanted to branch out a bit. The copy is succinct and effective, and the art is fantastic (cute, but also great at body horror, haha).
Overall, I really enjoyed this. Reading it now, it makes me think about how so many fears are shared, and what those common fears say about us as humans. For fun, here's a list of fears (they're numbered from 1 to 101 in this book) that are my favourites for various reasons: 9, 32, 52, 64, 78, 82 and 95.

I feel ya, fears no. 9, 21, and 23.
Also, welcome fear no. 44. You are now a regular part of my everyday worries. :)

People have some very interesting and specific fears!

Wow ok this was fun. Some of these fears actually made me pause and think "OMG me too, oh thank god someone else is thinking this." A few of the fears made me laugh (in a good natured way). A few of the comics spooked me. A cool idea, neat art, and a nice reminder that we all have some odd fears and that we're not alone.
