The Fear by Spencer Hamilton
5.0
Excuse me? Yes, all other books about slow descent into madness may go home now. This is the winner. 10 stars. Would highly recommend.
Anyone who was alive in 2020 can relate to this book. The fear we all felt when we learned we were on lock down, sheltering in place, toilet paper was scarce, Covid was potentially airborne...it was all terrifying. What happens when the space we consider safe, our home with our own family, becomes a source of fear as well?
Hamilton absolutely blew my mind with his ability to capture the pure ignorance of people. My personal favorite quote in this whole story was “I’d like to report a Covid-19 in progress.” This is a scene that will live rent-free in my head for life. This book made me laugh, tense up, invested in Jack and Ash’s well-being, and staying up way too late to finish it.
Last but not least, #fuckdoug.
