“The great thing aboutDeep Dark Fearsis that you’ll find that you’re not the only one with arguably irrational fears; the downside is you’ll discover way more to be afraid of.
 – Liz Prince, author ofTomboyandWill You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed?

  Fran Krause’s book confirms your worst fears, reminds you of fears you forgot you had, and gives you lots of new ones about things you hadn't even thought of yet. You would think that illustrating fears so beautifully would take the edge off of them, but it turns out that's not true. They are still deeply terrifying and great.
– Jon Klassen, author and illustrator ofI Want My Hat BackandThis Is Not My Hat

“My deep dark fear, as I read this book, was that that on the very next page I'd see my own personal fear, vividly illustrated—I had a knot in my stomach, bracing myself for it! When I got to the end and didn't see it, I grew a whole new fear! Does no one share my deep dark fear? Fran Krause has tapped into the impossible space between you and the worst thing thals!
