    About this audiobook

    Two women quarantined together. A world falling into chaos.

    When a virus sweeps across the globe, Ash and Jack must each face their fears. Married and isolated in one small apartment, each woman grows restless, claustrophobic and paranoid.

    As the horror outside their door ramps up to apocalyptic levels, inside Jack is slowly unraveling. She shuts herself away and fears everything. Fears the virus has crawled its way inside, down her throat, into the lining of her stomach. Ash is afraid, too—afraid of what her increasingly erratic wife will do to her.

    In a pandemic none of us are ready for, should we fear the outside world . . . or what's waiting within?

    From the author who brought you stories of literary horror and weird in Kitchen Sink comes Spencer Hamilton's debut novel, The Fear.

      This story was a wild ride. Very unexpected. I’m uncertain if I even like the story.
    • 5/5
      I was quite nervous about reading a story based around the time of the pandemic. I wasn't sure if it would set off some paranoia inside me! However, I found that this was a reminder that lives were still going on and struggles were being had even though this virus has spread globally.

      The dynamic between our main characters is just so well done and I think many would be able to relate.

      The one time it fell short for me was the ending. This is purely because I felt like things just came out nowhere and it ended quite abruptly. This being said, I have been left wanting more so make what you will of that!

      My final words on this shall be that I love Mo. If you want to know why....read this book!
