    About this ebook

    Fears is a short trilogy describing fears that aren't the first to be mentioned when one thinks about fears. We are conditioned to think of fears as clowns, heights, or the dark, neglecting that it isn't always so cut and dry. In the world lives fears like the ones that are introduced in these stories. Definitions are often too black and white, and we can somehow lose meaning in them sometimes, so in this book, we descend into philophobia (the fear of love), autophobia (the fear of oneself), and athazagoraphobia (the fear of being forgotten) as described in the viewpoints of characters based loosely off real people. Each one has been given just a touch from the world of the supernatural to intensify the danger of what it truly means to be afraid of more than just the thing under your bed. You will be assigned teachers for each fear in the forms of a reaper, a demon, and an apparition who will walk with you from beginning to end, ensuring that by the last page, you know what their stories mean. Each story is missing a key detail to make it interactive for you as the reader. In one, there is no gender identity for the narrator; in one, there is an open ending; and in the last one, the main character simply goes unnamed. It was written in this way so that there exist many different versions of the same book out there, living in the minds of the people who read it and fill in the blanks left behind intentionally.
