So... you know how sometimes you wake up at 3:30 a.m. with a random, weird, and freaky thought in your mind? One of those thoughts you just can't shake and, before you know it, you're up for the next several hours worrying about it?
For example: What if jelly beans aren't really candy at all, but are actually giant spider torsos (but with the legs and heads torn off) that have been dipped in a colorful candy shell and marketed as sweet treats?
Well... if you're prone to such night time thoughts, author Fran Krause's latest book, The Creeps, is definitely NOT for you! Because it's filled with all sorts of fears that are sure to keep you up at night. Here you'll find everything from urban legends to disturbing lies told by cruel older relatives/siblings to perfectly rational worries (these are the ones that stick with you the most because they could maybe actually happen). All fears are artfully illustrated in graphic detail so as to put that visual in your mind. You know, in case simply reading the text isn't enough on its own.
Bravo to Fran Kraus for penning pretty much the most disturbing piece of work I've read so far this year. I highly recommend it.
Now... sleep well, my lovelies. Sleep well.
