Deep Dark Fears
Deep Dark Fears | Fran Krause
32 posts | 30 read | 31 to read
A devilishly funny collection of comics that explores our most gruesome, hilarious, and bizare fears - and the dangers lurking around every corner. We all have strange, irrational fearsfrom seeing ghosts in the bedroom mirror to being sucked into a mall escalator or finding yourself miles below the ocean's surface on the deck of a sunken ship. In Deep Dark Fears, animator, illustrator, and cartoonist Fran Krause brings these fears to life in 101 vividly illustrated comics inspired by his wildly popular web comic and based on real fears submitted by online readers. Deep Dark Fears reveals a primal part of our humanity and highlighting both our idiosyncrasies and our similarities. From the Hardcover edition.

A cute but deranged little collection of comic strips exhibiting different phobias and deep-seated fears.
I thought the artwork was going to be more graphic novel style for some reason but it is not that way. They look like Sunday morning comics. Still, it was very interesting to read and fun nonetheless. It was interesting to read about fears that I never would have thought of before.

I found this one while looking for comics I can borrow on Libby (it‘s easier to read this during work than an ebook and I can‘t have a physical book out) anyway gonna start on this one now

I love this book! People send in their deep dark fears, and the author illustrated them, and made it into a graphic novel! LOVE!

A few of those things make me slightly uncomfortable, but overall I‘m not afraid of any of them.

This book touts itself as “a devilishly funny collection of 101 comics that explores our most gruesome, hilarious, and bizarre fears....” Should be right up my alley. Totally inappropriate and darkly comic. Unfortunately, the majority of this book was eye-rolling silly, IMO. A few of the comics fit the description - sort of (the photo is of one I thought was ok), the style was good, and it was short.

Cinfhen I think I‘ll pass if that‘s one of the “better” ones 🙄 although the art work is pretty good. 5y
LiterRohde @Cinfhen Yeah. I was not impressed. It got a so-so for the artwork really. I think the problem was (and I forgot to mention this in the review) that the “fears” (if you can even call them that) were crowdsourced. So the author didn‘t even write the material. 5y
Cinfhen Oh well, at least you completed a challenge prompt 😃 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Hmmmmpppffff. Sorry it was a dud. But you can still count it—yay! p.s. crowdsourcing in writing is a lame gimmick by an author who isn‘t very skilled. Or is lazy. 🤪 5y

I didn‘t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. It is basically illustrations of people‘s odd fears, of which we all have a few. Some literally made me laugh out loud, others were disturbing and may have added to my list of weird fears. Super fast read.

Deep Dark Fears by Fran Krause is a wonderful collection of illustrated fears that range from silly to the absolutely terrifying. This was such an interesting collection! One of my takeaways was simply how one thing said by one person can stick with and totally haunt another for years and years!

thereadingowlvina @InBooksILive The funny thing, I could relate to some of them! I think I'm paranoid over little things! 😂 6y
InBooksILive Oh don't worry, this one sounds like definitely something I would think when I was younger. My imagination was insane haha I mean, I left water out for my stuffed animals so they wouldn't get thirsty at night for crying out loud 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

This was enjoyable if, like me, you are a dark person. It might be fine even if you aren't. I was struck by how many of the fears were instigated by parents. I'm torn between finding that horrible and funny, which is one reason it's good I'm not a parent!

I've been a fan of Fran Krause's Deep Dark Fears for a really long time, and being able to have them in book form is just ❤️. A super cute and easy read, and a reminder that we're all a little weird and unconventional sometimes!

I'm not going to lie, I have totally acted out Fear #92 in order to stay sexy and not get murdered (a little #murderino shout out).

Loved this collection of irrational (or maybe not so irrational) fears!

This one made me laugh out loud... the the library. Awkward. 🤐 check it out if you'd like to see some shared childhood fears drawn into beautiful comics. I'll be sharing a few because they are just so good.
