The Book of Fears: A Collection of Short Stories by K.S. Gantt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

The Book of Fears by K.S. Gantt is a collection of 8 short and disturbing stories that highlight some intriguing phobias. This is a creepy horror-esque fest full of tension, dramatic developments, twisty turns, and suspense. There are trigger warnings of violence, abuse, and more- so if you have any triggers, you will want to check out the TW’s before diving in.
This also appears to be Ms. Gantt’s debut novel, as when I had finished this I went looking for more of her work, but this is the only one that showed up…. So I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future.
The stories in the collection are:
-Let’s Go Home Wolfie (Autophobia)
-Not In My House (Katsaridaphobia)
-I’ll Float Away (Lepidopterophobia)
-Friday the 13th (Paraskevidekatriaphobia)
-Deep Thoughts (Taphephobia)
-It’s All Fun and Games (Thanatophobia)
-Happy Anniversary (Ophidiophobia)
-Have You Seen My Wallet (Trypanophobia)

I loved that this collection was so different from what I have been reading of late, and reminded me that I haven’t had enough of this genre in my reading ‘diet’ of late…
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Gantt produces next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, K.S. Gantt!
