Innsmouth University is a place with a sinister past and a terrifying present. Two brilliant students, involved in illicit and unethical practices, believe they have found a cure for fear. The unwitting subjects of their experiments are subjected to a range of horrors as the students try to discover if it is possible for any individual to be truly fearless.

From the book:
“Ellie…?”
Ellie told herself she had no worries about going into the sub-basement. Yes, there were lots of ghost stories, usually passed around by the weaker students and the less academic members of staff, but she knew better than to believe such nonsense. She had to admit, some of those stories would be considered disconcerting if there was any credibility to support them but she had a PhD in English Literature and believed herself above such juvenile campfire stories.
“Ellie…?”
Her favourite ghost story of those that supposedly occurred on the campus, was the one that had echoes of the ‘Bloody Mary’ urban legend. According to this tale, and she’d heard it from probably half a dozen undergrads, students were dared to go alone, at midnight, to the corridor approaching Legrasse. Traditionally they were supposed to take a candle and stand facing the doorway to Legrasse Building. Ellie had the idea that this legend came from before the days of motion detectors and automatic lighting because, the students in the story were supposed to stand alone at the entrance to Legrasse and call the name of John Legrasse three times with their candle burning in front of them. After saying his name for the third time, the student was meant to blow the candle out and the spirit of John Legrasse would appear.
Ellie had asked each of the students who recounted this story, “So what happens then?”
Two had said they had no idea. One had honestly admitted that they doubted anything ever happened. But the others had been a little more graphic. A pair of girls who’d recounted the story in breathy whispers said that Legrasse had appeared. They hadn’t been able to see him, because the lights were out and they’d just extinguished the candle. But the air in the corridor had dropped to hypothermia temperatures and their flesh had prickled with the goose bumps that came from being in the presence of a ghostly spirit. Something as cold as Death’s icy finger had scraped against the backs of their necks. One of the girls had screamed and pushed through the emergency exit and fled to the sanctuary of the car park. The other had rushed out behind her.
The final girl’s story had been even more disquieting.
She had done the same as her friends, walking down the dark corridor with a candle in her hands, and then she’d gone through the ritual of saying Legrasse’s name three times. However, she didn’t have a chance to blow out the candle before some unseen draught snatched the flame from the wick and plunged her into darkness. The temperature plummeted. An icy finger touched the nape of her neck and crept downwards. And it seemed clear that other things had happened. “What happened next?” Ellie had asked. But the student refused to say. She had remained silent on the subject and continued to remain silent. A fortnight later, she decided to leave her programme of study and had not been heard from since.
“Ellie…?”
Shivering at the memory, telling herself that it was pretty stupid to be thinking about creepy ghost stories as she wandered along supposedly haunted corridors, and even more stupid to be unnerved by them when she knew ghosts did not exist, Ellie folded her arms across her breasts and began to walk faster.

Crazy Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2022

It was good, but pretty crazy. Definitely had that Lovecraftian feel to it. Quite a bit killing in this one. It was kind of hard to tell who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. Nevertheless, there was a good cast of characters. It'll be nice to see where this all leads. We know Ellie and Graham survived this mess, but what about Karl? Who knows?

Lister once again has written an incredible story. It's almost as if he takes you by the hand and leads you on a journey filled with supernatural elements, mystery and mayhem. The characters leap from the pages and come to life. I will never not be entertained by this author's work.

A fast paced, well developed thriller with a dash of the paranormal. The plot hooked me immediately and it was basically read in one sitting. Has some early Dean Koontz vibes in the best possible way. Definitely recommend!

This is the kind of book that will hook you in from the first chapter.
Have you ever thought that maybe fear was a good thing? What if you no longer feared what you used to fear? How wreckless would you become in your new braveness?
This story unravels slowly, giving us hints as to what's happening and how it's happening, eventually opening into a fully opened onion. Many layers to that onion, but it all comes together and makes sense.
If the ending hadn't been so abrupt, I would have given it five stars. On the plus side, it's a series, giving readers a chance to continue the story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2022

This story has action, suspense, and drama, throught this story you are on the edge of your seat hoping the charaters make it in time to stop a killer, save a life, or to stop a madman determined to prove his point and make money. Besides the spirits lurking about in this university there are some really interesting theories in this story. There are always pros and cons to adapting behaviors in people. What could help one person lead a more fulfilled life could open the door to trouble with another.

This book was so good! I loved how the chapters cut between the characters to all come together at the end. This book is fast paced and keeps your attention the whole time.
I definitely recommend getting this book!
I’m on to find another Ashley Lister book to read now.

This is a fantastic read. It has everything and was a fast paced, brilliant book. I look forward to reading more books by Ashley!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2021

I read Ashley Lister’s Fearless: a dark tale from Innsmouth in one sitting. Oh. My. Gosh. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed such amazing dialogue in a story. It’s clever and dark and had me laughing and exclaiming out loud, much to my husband’s dismay. The characters and their interactions are absolutely brilliant.

Also brilliant is Lister’s shameless and wicked combining of subgenres in this novella. There is the paranormal, the expected ghost story, but also elements of a medical horror thriller, psychological horror, and some irreverent dark humor. This is a solidly fun read! But perhaps a small disclaimer: while this is not extreme horror, some of the subject matter might not be for those readers who are easily triggered. Lister throws a dash of real life horror in the mix as a catalyst, and it is presented with real life perspectives. One can’t bring the chip-on-one’s-shoulder to this read or one will miss the purposeful depth brought by that addition.

This is a fast-paced and enjoyable story, and I cannot recommend it enough. I look forward to reading the other stories in Lister’s Tales from Innsmouth series. I’m hooked.

An enjoyable, well paced horror thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

A present day horror thriller with a good body count (is good the appropriate word? Decent? Never mind, you get the gist) and as I read I was impressed by the excellent pacing. There's little time to sit back and pause as the story drives like a juggernaut. Necessary, I guess, for fitting such an enjoyable plot into a novella. The writing style is comfortable and I read this in a couple of sessions - a satisfying experience. I'm not familiar with Innsbrook as a setting, but I don't think that matters.

What about the story? I don't think it's a spoiler as the title "Fearless" gives a clue. How might people act if they are not inhibited by their fears? Might they get carried away? Ashley Lister's antagonists do. An intriguing conclusion too.

I have three more novellas by the author, these also being set in Innsbrook. I'm looking forward to reading them.

Just great

There are times when I find something that just makes me want more, and this is one. I have also found out there is more, which makes me happy.

This is great writing with lovely touches that swings from profound to profanity with such skill you can't help but smile.

So looking forward to the rest now.

Bought this because I enjoy this author's work. Finished it in one sitting and immediately downloaded the rest. Innsmouth is definitely not somewhere where you would want to move to! Well worth a read if you like a dark side to your reads.
