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

The Book of Fears: A Collection of Short Stories is a collection of eight short stories about eight different people who have their own fear or phobia. It is full of tension, drama, action, mystery, intrigue and heart-pounding suspense. The author delves into fears and phobias such as the fear of death; the fear of butterflies; the fear of abandonment; the fear of cockroaches; the fear of Friday the 13th; the fear of being buried alive; the fear of snakes; and the fear of needles. Things that may seem irrational to outsiders, such as the intense fear of a butterfly, can cause intense and crippling fear in those that are terrified by the fluttering insects. The fear of abandonment can cause someone to go to terrifying lengths to ensure that those they love never abandon them. The fear of cockroaches may lead to an intense obsession with cleanliness to the point that it drives those that love them away or that may lead to irrational and frightening behavior. Please be advised that this collection may have triggers for some as it touches on topics such as domestic violence, abuse, miscarriage, and torture. A great read that has me looking forward to more stories by this author!
