The Fearing: Book One - Fire and Rain by John F.D. Taff
5.0
* Review copy received from the publisher for review consideration *
I tend not to like post-apocalyptic horror or dystopian themes. I’ve enjoyed some in the past, but I’m more selective because many of the texts and films in this category are hit or miss for me. In spite of that, the first portion of The Fearing is something that I firmly stand behind. I tend to prefer Taff’s short fiction for the most part, but for The Fearing, all I can is: Believe the hype, folks. John Taff is the real deal. This book, in all its eventual serially to-be-released parts, deserves to be in serious awards contention next year.
You will definitely be chomping at the bit to see what happens next. According to Taff’s Twitter post, the schedule is as follows:
It’s like this for the serialized parts of THE FEARING:
Book One: Fire & Rain, July 9
Book Two: Water & Wind, Aug 20
Book Three: Air & Dust, Oct 1
Book Four: Earth & Ember, Nov 11
