Phobophobia
The only thing we have to fear, we're told, is fear itself. In Phobophobia, the first fiction collection from award-winning screenwriter and journalist Mike Watt, ordinary people going through everyday events are subjected to nightmares beyond their imagining. In Phobophobia, nothing is what it seems ... -- Not a classic cherry red Mustang... -- Not a run-of-the-mill art exhibit... -- Not a Valentine's Day gift... -- Not even Christmas Morning... "There is a twisted skein of darkness running through all of Mike's work..." -- Amber Benson (author of Death's Daughter) from her introduction.
