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 fears—from 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.

Review

New York Times Best Seller
2016 Eisner Award Nominee

“The great thing about Deep Dark Fears is 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 of Tomboy and Will 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 of I Want My Hat Back and This 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 that could happen. Whatever lives in there deserves some company! Isn't it comforting to know there are things you never even thought to be afraid of? Well... you'll think to be afraid of them now.”
– Rebecca Sugar, creator of Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe

“Deep Dark Fears is a terrifying and funny treasury of secret, irrational fears we obsess over but are too embarrassed to admit. I can't imagine reading this book home alone at night without completely scaring myself to death.”
– Yumi Sakugawa, author of Your Illustrated Guide to Becoming One with the Universe

Fran Krause is able to combine pictures and texts in a great way to tell the stories

October 30, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It has been a month since I received this book. I read them all in one day and put the book at place where I can see and hold everyday. I am Fran Krause's number one fan from China. I have been reading Fran Krause's comics for quite a long time. Checking his website to see if the comics updated has became a daily routine. There are dark fears deep in people's heart, but sometimes those fears are difficult to describe. Fran Krause is able to combine pictures and texts in a great way to tell the stories. I love his art, and I love those fears people submitted. The world he created in his comic is fantastic and intriguing. Thumbs up!

Good first installment...

December 4, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Huge fan of the Deep Dark Fears series on Tumblr so obviously I had to have this. Majority of the panels were ones I've reblogged on Tumblr so that was a bit disappointing. On the other hand, I love those stories so I'm happy to add this to my horror book collection.

I fear that Fran Krause will not do this again!

October 9, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I love this book! I don't know if Fran Krause has any more deep dark fears hidden away, but the ones that he has given life to in this book are sad, funny, scary, weird, and thoughtful. Fran manages to put both common and unusual fears into pictures with unique humor, irony, and sensitivity. Many of the fears have been submitted to him by people who have probably been following Fran on his tumblr site for a while - and I suspect that he will be getting a lot more fear material to work on now that this book is out. I certainly hope so!

Finds the inner child in all of us and makes us laugh (or, at least, nervously chuckle) in the face of our once-mighty fears

October 10, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Fran Krause's web comic immediately captures the essence of our, often unique and macabre, childhood fears. His book, a collection of never before seen comics as well as a few of the most popular ones displayed online, is an excellent coffee table book and conversation starter. One would be hard pressed to find a friend or relative who doesn't relate to at least one of Krause's scenarios, which range in tone from light hearted and ridiculous to downright bone-chilling. An absolute must-have for anyone wanting to be amused and unsettled in the same, glorious moment.

I gave this book to my friend that drunkenly told me, "Dude, I'm scared if I don't leave the Bay Area, I'm never going to leave." This was his Christmas present and he's already completed it, thanking me for the rad illustrations and for having new fears he never thought of.

The world is scary, but I'm glad my friend has a reminder of just how scary.

Children's book for adult

April 16, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I love this masterpiece, I saw Fran Kraust work online and didn't know he did a copulation of the stories people sent to him. The book structure is so classy and beautiful like one of those books that you find in a library just by surprise and it has something totally unexpected , the stories are scary, funny, and shocking that go along with Kraust children art style .

Like the tittle says this is like a Children's book but for Adults !

Odd-Ball fears out there?

September 23, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is an odd premise for a book and it is easy to read. Kind of reasuring that the odd fears I've had are not the only odd fears out there. There's a sequel that I've preordered...

I found this book in a store and decided to buy a copy online. I like the fears the comics with them are hilarious. I'm hoping to use a few of them as writing prompts for future exercises. Good stuff.
