'Compelling and clever' JANE CASEY

'Terrific ... Riveting' Sunday Independent

Thirty-two Irish female crime authors come together to explore some of life's greatest fears in an anthology of original stories teeming with terror.

Edited by crime authors Sam Blake and C.L. Murphy, and including a foreword by Emmett J. Scanlan, this collection explores a pulse-quickening spectrum of the fears that keep us awake at night - from dolls, clowns and ghosts, to fi re, heights and doors in hidden rooms. Here you'll find tales of being buried alive, being forgotten, of loss and betrayal - and more.

Full of thrilling twists and chilling reveals, Fear will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
