Deep Dark Fears

Fran Krause

3.98 AVERAGE


That was a fun way to spend a bit of time. So me of the fears were funny and humorous. Others, I completely understood.
mysterious
dark funny fast-paced

This was odd and quirky. I also liked the art work but overall it was mediocre.

uhhh... well I feel less alone as well as being equally terrified and entertained.

Finally, I have an answer to the question "Which book best describes your life?"

Deep Dark Fears is a collection of webcomics, each describing an irrational fear. Some are silly; some are morbid. Many were submitted by readers of the webcomic; all are illustrated with hilarious, whimsical, irreverent, and terrifying detail by Fran Krause.


101 short horror comics about fears. Most are four-panel, single page comics, but there's some flexibility and a few marginal doodles--it's probably more striking in the print edition; digitally, it's unremarkable. The comics have been cleaned up from their online publication, particularly the text. Klaus's vibrant, rough style and thoughtful touches (especially in the final panels) pairs well with the micro-horror. I'm surprised how much I liked this, given that I'd read the vast majority of it on the blog--reading it in bulk reinforces the atmosphere, instead of wearing it out as some collections do. The brevity lends well to fridge horror; there's top-notch body horror, existential horror, and healthy collection of doppelgangers and monsters. The more comedic strips aren't to my personal taste, but they work surprisingly well, breaking up and contrasting the tone without overwhelming it. This is very short, there's not a ton of content exclusive to the book, but it reminded me why I love this comic series so much.

An interesting read that gave me a few new things to be afraid of.

3'5 en realidad.

No está mal. Algunos miedos sí que emparanoian un poco y otros son más bien graciosos.
medium-paced
