FEAR
It hinders some, while it fuels others, but without it, our species would not have survived hundreds of thousands of years. However it might affect you, you've felt fear. We all have. Within this book, you'll come face to face with new fears as you open your imagination and experience the incredible lives of original characters in eight vastly different short stories that span many unique and gripping genres, including thriller, tragic romance, crime, science fiction, retelling, and more.
Each story is a different face of fear.
