First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket,
237 pp.
This edition limited to 300 copies. “What I Was Afraid Of is a book of fears, suspicions, uncertainties, bewilderment, confusion, guilt and unease. The stories are an exploration of things that never happened, and couldn’t happen because we are safe in doors, under the covers, with the doors locked. We fear the things we don’t understand, so we crawl inside them and look out through a stranger’s eyes. We imagine ourselves involved in sinister and peculiar things. We put ourselves in a criminal’s shoes to see how they feel and where they take us. Where do these thoughts come from? Are we complicit? The fact is, people take fear as a stimulant. It’s the pinch that tells us we’re awake. Unrea soning fears are the most enter taining. The horrible visions we recoil from are often ourselves seen in a dark mirror or someone we know seen in bad light.” #69269
