Deep Dark Fears

A collection of delightfully macabre one-page comics, Deep Dark Fears (2015–present, Ten Speed Press) distills the strange, specific anxieties we all carry—from the absurd to the genuinely unsettling. Created by the singular voice of Fran Krause, this single-issue compilation brings together his popular webcomic series, exploring the universal yet deeply personal nature of irrational dread with a warm, whimsical touch. It matters as a charmingly offbeat look at the hidden fears that connect us.
