this is a fun idea - fran krause started documenting and illustrating his irrational fears over here on tumblr and then put out an open call for submissions. people sent him the gory details of their craziest fears in full-frontal psychological nakedness, and he made 'em into doodles.



there are 101 of them collected here.

and none of them are from people afraid of anything straightforward like dogs or clowns or heights. these are all very specific, very involved fears and some of them are playing a little loosey goosey with the definition of "fear" if you ask me.



ceci n'est pas une peur.

far be it from me to dictate what people can and cannot be afraid of, but some of the examples here seem to be striving for cleverness or uniqueness rather than authenticity.



and that's no way to heal, man…

i've grouped a few of them, as i do -

things it is NOT irrational, but rather completely appropriate and healthy to fear:













fears i already have:









fears i developed after reading this:





and its variation on the theme:









not irrational fears so much as shitty parenting:





not irrational fears so much as strategy:











not irrational fears so much as childhood adorableness:



the contributors have all been given credit in the book's backmatter, although most of them are going by "anonymous" or some sort of pseudonymous screen name.



fraidy-cats!

there are also four unattributed fears, which may be krause's own, or may be the irrational fears of a g-g-g-ghost!



i leave you with this urban legend fear, in which the call is coming from inside the review.

مجموعه كميك هايى راجع به ترس هاى غير معقولى كه همه توى بچگى داشتيم يا هنوز داريم. نويسنده به صورت روزانه روى اينترنت منتشرشون مى كنه، و صدتاشون رو جمع كرده و شده اين كتاب.
همه ى ترس ها، ترس هاى نويسنده نيست، مخاطب هاى اينترنتى ش بعضى از ترس هاى خودشون رو باهاش در ميون گذاشتن. خیلی از ترس ها، ترس های بچگی من هم بود. و هم زمان، لذت بخش و وحشتناک بود! بعضی ها فقط خنده دار بودن.

بعضی از ترس های قدیمی و فعلی من

احساس می کنم به اختیار خودمه که دیوانه نیستم و رفتار معقولی دارم، و می ترسم یه دفعه کنترل خودم رو بی دلیل از دست بدم و شروع کنم به نعره زدن و شکلک در آوردن و رقصیدن و حمله کردن و زخمی کردن خودم و دیگران.

بچگی هام، می ترسیدم همه ی خانواده م هر چند ظاهراً با من مهربونن، ولی پنهانی علیه من توطئه کرده ن و منتظرن یه وقت گیر بیارن و یه بلایی سرم بیارن. بارها کابوس می دیدم که یه بلایی سرم اومده و همه ی خانواده نشستن و با پوزخند وحشتناکی خیره شدن به بلایی که داره سرم میاد.

شب هایی که مامان و بابا تلویزیون رو درست می کردن و همه در سکوت می نشستیم به صدای برفک گوش می کردیم و تلاش مذبوحانه ی مامان و بابا برای تنظیم کردن کانال ها رو تماشا می کردیم، یه دفعه این ترس به جانم می افتاد که تلویزیون عمداً داره خودش رو به خرابی می زنه و الآنه که صورتی بر صفحه ظاهر بشه و بگه: شما مقهور من هستید و هیچ راه فراری ندارید.

وقتی شب ها میرم روشویی، دوست دارم چراغ روشن باشه حتماً. چون توی نور کم نمی تونم جزئیات تصویر خودم رو توی آینه ببینم، و می ترسم که تصویر توی آینه خودم نباشم.

Disclaimer: I had to read this with the lights on.

Truth to be told, the more I think about this collection, the more I recall how much I actually enjoyed reading it, which was the last emotion I was anticipating to feel with this read. Deep Dark Fears explores our odd, creepy, and hilariously singular fears. Animator, illustrator, and cartoonist Fran Krause brings these fears to life in vividly illustrated comics based on real fears submitted by readers (plus a few of his own).

I didn't have any expectations going into this, except maybe worrying that the fears in here wouldn’t be relatable or dark enough for me, but they were both...and so much more. Like, I was so engrossed that I jumped out of my skin about halfway through when I heard a dripping sound from the shower head in the bathroom next door.

I'm also laughing at myself for researching earlier today about experiencing better dreams, but then deciding to read this book of fears at night when it clearly stated on the website the need to "destress" before bed... And there being a lot of talk about ghosts probably wasn’t the best to read at nighttime, or was it?

Anyway, all this is to say that I had a devilishly fun time reading this collection of 101 comics that explores our most gruesome, hilarious, and bizarre fears — and the dangers lurking around every corner.
Here are some of my favorites:



 


 





I'm this close to having an exstitensial crisis with the above.



 



Genuinely had a conversation with my mom about this afterwards.



The above made me laugh because I usually try to do the opposite, so they don't have time to hide...



This low-key fucked with my head.



 



Ok. So I can clearly see the number six in here, but I can't catch anything in the below...

 

I've been looking for ages now.

All in all: Deep Dark Fears was quite the revelation for me. And since I don't do well with scary stuff, I'm interested to see how I'll do after this...

بزرگترین ترس من زندگی نزیسته ست

از صد و یک خیال ترسناکی که این کتاب بیان کرده، تقریبا در 20 مورد اشتراک داشتم. خیلی از ترس های دوران کودکیم با گذر زمان دچار پیشرفت و تحول شدن و هنوز باهام هستن، ترس هایی که باعث ایجاد عادت های ماندگار و وسواس‌گونه شدن. مثلا داخل حمام اگر با چشم های بسته سر و صورتم رو بشورم احساس نا امنی شدید می کنم یا زمان خوابیدن باید در اتاق و کمد دیواری حتما بسته باشه، پرده های پنجره حتما کشیده باشه و... اما این ها همه ترس‌های فانتزی من هستن، نه ترس واقعی. ترس های واقعیم بقدری مرعوبم می کنن و بعضا شخصی هستند که نمی تونم (یا دوست ندارم) بیانشون کنم

A collection of 101 Deep Dark Fears, silly but at the same time extremely creepy ideas which look like childhood fears for adults.



I remember seeing a couple of frames from this comic on social medias and really liking the art and the watercolour technique; I also thought the idea was very clever and I wanted a more comprehensive work. It is actually the art style that drawn me to this comic. As for the content, I imagined these fears would be more relatable, and I'll be able to say "omg me too", but looks like we are all crazy in different ways. 🙃



My irrational fears:

After I watched Final Destinations I am terrified of driving behind a truck that transports wooden logs, because I imagine them getting detached and impaling me from the window.

I am scared that, if I fall from my bed, it would actually be extremely painful and I could die.

I am scared of moths, especially the big ones, because once a moth that was flying away shoot some liquid on my hand and now I think it was poison.

Deep Dark Fears collects 101 comic strips about odd, far-fetched, absurd, yet somehow strangely familiar fears - see the quotes below for samples. A comic-book version of cartoonist Fran Krause introduces the book like this: “I started this comic by trying to draw all my irrational fears – accidentally getting my eyes poked out, that sort of thing, then people started sending in their own stories and fears! My readers have been very generous with their stories, and I’ve really loved drawing them!” And it shows, as the whole book feels like a labor of love, personal and authentic. Everything is presented with lots of attention to detail and timing, and the results range from hilarious to downright creepy. Recommended to fans of alternative comics!

[Dave Schaafsma · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a link to Krause's webcomic, so you can dig into it yourself to see if you want to read his book:

http://www.gocomics.com/deep-dark-fears

His book began with his drawing his deepest fears in four panel comics, and then readers sent their own in as well, and he began drawing these, and he had enough over time to make a selection, 101 of his faves, with a parade of ghost stories, irrational fears of grizzly deaths, and paranoid delusions. Some are written by children, some are remembered fears of childhood, and some are written by people who have never let go of their deepest fears whenever they had them. Some are really deeply existential fears, and moving.

Most of them are hilarious, such as the woman who was told as a little girl that mommy's baby was conceived by a "special hug" from daddy, so for months she was afraid of being hugged by any man in fears she might get pregnant.

Another pregnancy fear is that, being told God made Mary pregnant because he thought she was perfect, a young woman, not wanting to get pregnant, decided to deliberately NOT be God's type.

I am reading (somewhat dry) educational philosophy (is there any other kind, you ask?) in another part of my brain/life, (no, not really) so I actually found this book sort of impossible to put down, I liked it so much. I like to alternate escapist reading with Really Important Books. But who is to say this is not an important book? It's about everyone's deepest dark fears! What a view of human nature! What a great hook for a book!!

And for writing teachers, what a great writing assignment. Sort of like Lynda Barry's 100 Demons, where at the end of telling of her crazy demons, she invites you to write and draw yours. Great stuff!

از وقتی که یادم میاد، هنوز و همیشه ی عمرم یه ترس بزرگ داشتم؛ اینکه باعث رنج دیگران باشم، چه رنج جسمی، و چه روحی.
تقریبا شاید از اونموقع که فهمیدم رنج چیه، دارم روزگارم رو با این ترس سپری می کنم و متوقف کردنش غیرممکنه، چون این ترس جزئی از من شده، و من جزئی از اون.
آسیب رسوندن من به دیگران و باعث ایجاد هر رنجی در اونها شدن، میتونه شبیه باشه به سر کشیدن جام زهر؛ خیلی زود تمومم میکنه.

اما ترس های این کمیک، ترس های بامزه ای بود که گاهی لبخند رو روی لب نقاشی میکردن. ترس هایی که مطمئنم توی بچگی باخودم داشتمشون، چون خیلی هاشون حس آشنایی داشتن و چندتاشون رو هنوزم دارم.
یکی از ترس ها که خیلی وقتا ته ذهنم درگیرش بودم، بازی بولینگ بود... واقعا از کجا مطمئنن انگشتاشون توی سوراخ ها گیر نمیکنه و موقع پرتاب از دستشون جدا نمیشه؟ :دی
یا اوایل که گواهینامه رانندگیم رو گرفته بودم، یه ترس وحشتناکی به جونم افتاده بود و بعد از رد شدن از هر موقعیت توی ذهنم میگفتم: اگه حواست نبود و میخوردی به اون ماشینه؟ اگه حواست نبود و بچه هه رو نمی دیدی؟ و خیلی دیگه از این "اگه" های دیوانه کننده ی تموم نشدنی، که خداروشکر خیلی وقته توی ذهنم خاموششون کردم.



اما با مرور این ترس ها، به مرور بچگی خودم رسیدم و یکی از ترس های بزرگم رو یادم آورد.

یادم میاد کوچیک که بودم، همه ی تلاشم رو می کردم تا قبل از خوابیدن مطمئن بشم که مادر و پدرم ازم ناراحت نیستن، که بابت لج بازیا و شیطونیا منو بخشیدن و هنوز دوسم دارن. یادم میاد اگه از اینکه ازم ناراحت نیستن مطمئن نبودم، وحشت میکردم چشمامو ببندم، وحشت میکردم به خوابی برم که شاید پشتش بیدار شدن نباشه. (یادم نیست چطور شد اونقدر زود فهمیدم که فردا ممکنه هیچوقت نیاد.) و خوب یادمه وحشتناک تر اینجا بود که بدون گفتنِ شب به خیر بخوابم؛ نمیتونستم به فردایی اعتماد کنم که از اومدنش مطمئن نیستم... که خداحافظیِ مخصوص هرشبم رو نگم و جوابش رو نشنوم. و اگه شبی قبل از خواب دقایق زیادی رو بیدار می بودم، یهو یادم میفتاد که وای، شب به خیر نگفتم... و تو فکر کن که دنیا روی سرم خراب میشد... چون واقعا هم خراب میشد؛ اگه فردا نیاد، اگه شبمون صبح نشه، بدون خداحافظی شبونه م که نمیشه. و با تموم این افکار دلمو میزدم به دریا و میگفتمش، و مامان میگه گاهی بعد یه ساعت یهو بی مقدمه شب به خیر میگفتی. اما گفتش می ارزید؛ یادم نمیره که با شنیدن شب به خیر آروم و مهربون مامان، انگار جهانم آروم میگرفت...

نمیدونم چندوقت گذشت تا گفتنِ شب به خیر رو ترک کردم، اما هنوزم که هنوزه به روزگار اعتماد ندارم، و همه ی سعیمو میکنم هر شب قبل از روی هم گذاشتن چشمای جهان اطرافم، قلبی ازم دلگیر نباشه... چون هنوز با تصور فردایی که تصورش غیرممکنه وحشت میکنم...

Do you have those irrational fears, that make no sense to anybody but you? Or so you thought...

Fran Krause took those fears to paper and created comics based on them. Then fans submitted their own fears.

A phenomenon was born.

Exactly, stay away from social media!

See why I don't like cats?
Cats, no. Just no.

This, though.

So, what is your fear?

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.

[Nancy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Have you ever had absurd but frightening fears that you can’t stop thinking about? If so, then this book is for you!

Deep Dark Fears, is a comic based on people’s quirky fears. The author takes user-submitted fears on his Tumblr website and illustrates them in this compilation.

These fears might seem laughable to others, but nevertheless result in anxiety and feel legitimate to the person worrying. Some of the strips that resonated with me were #9 (worrying about if you are tempting fate by missing a train), #21 (legs being crushed in a car accident), #22 (reading minds), #33 (swimming out to sea), #62 (birthmark show how you died in your previous life) and #99 (plunge to death in an elevator).

My example is that when I was pregnant with my oldest son, my husband and I were camping with some friends and I had to use the outhouse, I worried excessively that the baby would drop out of me and fall into the abyss. I knew this was not probable, and a few months later when I did give birth and it took hours and was excruciatingly painful, it was proven to me that no babies just fall out. But I was in no mood to laugh at my fear at that moment.

The artwork in this collection of 101 strips is clean and reminds me of Noelle Stevenson’s artwork. While drawn to capture the essence of the situation, and not be hyper-realistic, I sometimes felt distracted by the too-simplistic rendering of details such as noses. The coloring is done with watercolors, so the pictures have an appealing lightly hued washed-out look. The strips are often in a four-panel configuration.

This was a charming book, and while it will make you laugh out loud several times, it will also make you feel better about your idiosyncratic fears.

deep!dark? hah?!

The illustrations are cool and funny, yet the fears are not as promising as the title of the book! I expected sth really dark and deep, sth that would make my hair stand on end or give me goosebumps!

My deep N dark fears

About three months ago I burnt my hand and it was a second-degree burn, actually, I was trying to save my eyes and my face. Since then, I had this feeling that almost everything had the potential to explode and make me go blind. It was so hard to deal with it, but now I'm fine :)

Damn you evolution!

Fishes are the biggest fear of my life, those pretty or cute or whatever you call them things almost give me heart attacks! When I was 4, one day my mom was cooking fish and meanwhile, my brother pulled out the eyes of those fishes in order to scare me with a bunch of bloody fish eyes. So basically my parents believed that my fear of fish and sea creatures rooted back to that day. However all I felt that day was disgust rather than fear! I am a professional swimmer but I don't swim in the sea or rivers or anywhere I suspect the existence of a sea creature. So this got me thinking and when I searched for it I found out that I have an ichthyophobia! haha...

Me encanta conocer a la gente a través de sus miedos. Capaz suena morboso, pero no va exactamente por ese lado. Me gusta saber que todos compartimos algún miedo "absurdo", alguna inquietud que quizá no tiene mucho sustento lógico. Me gusta saber dónde pone cada uno sus preocupaciones, por más ínfimo que sea: todos tenemos algún miedo raro encerrado. Esta recopilación de comics de Fran Krause reune algunos de ellos, y son sencillamente geniales.

Frank Krause wants to know what you're afraid of and the weirder it is the better. This collection of by turns hilarious and horrifying fears he dreamed up on his own and received from his avid fan base is a macabre delight. If, like me, you have some really insane seeming fears (yeah I occasionally think about stockpiling food in the attic for the impending zombie apocalypse what of it!?) this book will do wonders for your insecurities. It turns out, at least according to Krause, that everyone is afraid of crazy, stupid, elaborately confusing, nonsensical stuff.

What makes this a bit more than just a collection of quirkly drawn vignettes is that for every hilarious fear (I too have occasionally wondered if you can see your breath when its cold does that mean people can see my farts) there's one that's downright eerie. Birthmark's signifying how you died in a past life, the fear of falling through the ice and being dragged under, worry that your life is really a dream the real you is trapped in...I've thought about all those things or at least variations on them.

Krause has tapped into something really visceral here. On the one hand these really are the fears of people without all that much to worry about in "real life." On the other this is a pretty deep examination of the strange, frightening but oddly beautiful places our minds can take us when we let them.

Krause's drawings are a perfect match for this kind of subject. His cartoons are colorful but a bit muddied and bland looking. He doesn't go overboard on the details. The various monsters and gory situations his subjects find themselves in come off as just cartoony enough to keep from totally freaking out the reader.

This is a super quick really fun little book that just might leave you a tad nervous when you're finished.

ARC provided by Ten Speed Press through Netgalley

I had seen a few of Fran Krause's comics around tumblr, so when I saw this book on Netgalley I simply had to read it!
Thankfully I was approved because it was a delightful read!

Krause accepts submissions of tumblr users' darkest fears and draws them in a charming art style, bringing them to life and giving them the humour needed to soften the horror they represent.

One thing I experienced, when I saw his comics on tumblr, was that I not only shared quite a few of the deep dark fears drawn, but that I would also end up with new fears I didn't have before...

For instance, a fear I have:



A new fear these comics have given me:

A wonderfully delightful book despite the subject matter! The artwork is incredibly versatile and really accentuates the scenarios it conveys.

Deep Dark Fears contains 101 fear scenarios from the outrageously bizarre (# 12, 23, 57, 67) to the sinister and disturbing (# 11, 41, 78, 88) to the poignant and heartfelt (# 15, 24, 32, 62, 74).

Reading this book has made me aware of how universal fear is and how it can manifest in myriad ways. I was very glad to discover that I am not the only person who has a fear about mirrors and reflections (# 17, 59, 64), about getting old (#61 and 72) and the inevitability of death (#38, 43, 56, 82).

Fran Krause has created a deeply humane read highlighting some of our irrational fears - a thought-provoking gem of a book.

A series of short comics describing various fears, some silly, some childish, some actually fairly creepy. Krause started by illustrating his own fears, and then moved on to illustrating the fears submitted to him by readers. It's voyeuristic, of course, and cathartic when you can identify with one of the fears. A very quick read.

Riveting.
As someone who's always been fascinated by unusual fears, this was nailed up my alley.
These are not the normal fears (spiders, balloons, clowns). These are the niche corners of our psyches.
I.e.

Fear #31: When my dogs want to come inside, I need to check the whole house, looking for my dogs, in case the ones outside are shapeshifters.

Each of the brief descriptions caption full-color panels depicting the events described. The symbiosis of these elements is subtle in some cases, but the pictures absolutely enrich the text.

Part of me needs to know who these people are, but I think the anonymity is appropriate.

Put this in the same appeal box as PostSecret.
Addictive.
