About this listen

What if all humanity’s fears were unleashed on the world...all at once?

A series of cataclysmic events are felt around the globe, and throughout the United States the last vestiges of society band together in rag-tag groups to face off against the ghastly horrors of their shattered world.

Opposing them is the enigmatic Adam Sigil - a man seemingly able to inflict others with his own darkest fears - and his equally mysterious companion Jelnik. As the world slips into darkness, the survivors of the onslaught struggle with the new normal of their now-dystopian lives amid ongoing skirmishes with mankind’s nightmares. With devastation and atrocities continuing to escalate, and hysteria threatening to rip their tenuous society apart, they find themselves on a collision course with this malevolent duo, headed toward a terrifying showdown that could ultimately signal the end of humanity.

Multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated author John F.D. Taff’s sprawling, apocalyptic epic The Fearing was called “the event of the year” when it was originally released as four stand-alone novellas: Fire & Rain, Water & Wind, Air & Dust, and Earth & Ember. Now, here for the first time, all four parts have finally come together with an altered timeline in this collected edition of The Fearing.

Includes a special introduction from a Grand Master of Horror, the esteemed Ray Garton, author of Ravenous, Live Girls, and many more novels.

I left a full review on Goodreads, but I was pleasantly surprised. It didn’t give me the pandemonium I’d expected, with gore and a load of F-bombs, but good.

The narrator was great, I liked the characters (all of them), and the story closed with a sweet ending.

Not what I expected!

Really wanted to like this - I love a good apocalypse story. I went by the reviews and grabbed it and since it was free there is nothing lost except my time. I just could not care about any of the characters and felt that many of the ideas were just recycled from other books. The best I can say it was just BLAH! Someone likened it to King and The Stand -please do not think it can even come close to King- so many things about the book are weak. No real character development - they are flat. I remember looking at the 1 hour 2 minute left marker and I thought oh good it is almost over. Let's face it if it is a good book you want more.

Really Disappointing
