The Fear

by: Christiana Spens

£7.99 – £12.99

What is fear? What are we afraid of and why? And how do states of fearfulness shape our personalities, relationships, and entire societies? 

“The Fear is a finely tuned, fascinating interrogation of an emotion that hijacks us all. Both intimate and psychologically rigorous, it pushes the bounds of memoir into intellectual territory.”— Lily Dunn, author of Sins of My Father

“Made up of equal parts pain, intimacy, desolation and tenderness, The Fear extracts beauty and meaning from a reckoning with great private darkness.” — Rob Doyle, author of Threshold

“Intellectually vivifying and deeply moving, The Fear is a dazzling memoir that dances between the cerebral and the tender.” — Sam Mills, author of The Fragments of my Father

“The Fear considers how trauma manifests in ways that seem too powerful to tolerate and how it can seem that emotion could be traded or outran by another equally strong emotion, like love. A brilliant look at the maze of personal history and how the wounds we carry will continue to make their journey through us, one way or another.” — Jenni Fagan, author of Luckenbooth 


“
A bold, beautiful and brave book; in it’s form, in the lyricism of its style and in the intensity of its interrogations.” — Tom de Freston, author of Wreck.

Rob Doyle, author of Threshold.

“Made up of equal parts pain, intimacy, desolation and tenderness, The Fear extracts beauty and meaning from a reckoning with great private darkness.”

Tom de Freston, author of Wreck.

“The Fear is a bold, beautiful and brave book; in it’s form, in the lyricism of its style and in the intensity of its interrogations. At the level of intellectual curiosity, psychological honesty and political urgency it is a text of staggering depth and variety.”

Lily Dunn, author of Sins of My Father: A Daughter, A Cult, A Wild Unravelling. 

“The Fear is a finely tuned, fascinating interrogation of an emotion that hijacks us all. Both intimate and psychologically rigorous, it pushes the bounds of memoir into intellectual territory.”

Jenni Fagan, author of Luckenbooth and The Panopticon. 

“The Fear considers how trauma manifests in ways that seem too powerful to tolerate… A brilliant look at the maze of personal history and how the wounds we carry will continue to make their journey through us, one way or another.”

Sam Mills, author of The Fragments of my Father

“Intellectually vivifying and deeply moving, The Fear is a dazzling memoir that dances between the cerebral and the tender.”
