DEFINED THE GENRE & ENTIRE GENERATIONS

• "If you've never read Fear, I urge you to do so." -- Stephen King

• "Fear deeply influenced me." -- Ray Bradbury

• "Without Fear I would never have come up with what I do." -- Philip K. Dick

What makes Fear so powerful? Because it really could happen. And that is terrifying.

"L. Ron Hubbard's Fear is one of the few books in the chiller genre which actually merits employment of the overworked adjective 'classic,' as in 'This is a classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror.' If you're not adverse to a case of the cold chills -- a rather bad one -- and you've never read Fear, I urge you to do so. Don't even wait for a dark and stormy night. This is one of the really, really good ones." -- Stephen King, the master of Horror.

Professor James Lowry didn't believe in spirits, or witches, or demons. Not until a gentle spring evening when his hat disappeared, and suddenly he couldn't remember the last four hours of his life. Now, his quiet university town of Atworthy is changing -- slightly at first, then faster and more frighteningly each time he tries to remember. Lowry is pursued by a dark, secret evil that is turning his whole world against him while it whispers a warning from the shadows: If you find your hat you'll find your four hours. If you find your four hours then you will die...

"FEAR IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING HORROR FANTASIES EVER WRITTEN...

... with all the scary logic and authority of genuine nightmare. Hubbard didn't need werewolves and bloody axes -- he could scare the daylights out of you with a hat, or a stairway, or a little boy sitting on a rock and scratching his initials in the dirt with a stick. Fear is a terribly powerful story." -- Tim Powers, author of On Stranger Tides (Disney movie)

Philp K. Dick: "What I'm writing is really psychological fantasies, on the order of L. Ron Hubbard's Fear, which impressed me very much and still does. Without Fear I would never have come up with what i do."

Ray Bradbury: "I was so impressed by it that I wrote a radio script based on it, and got some friends to do some disc-recordings of it for my private listening. That's a long time ago, and the discs long since lost, but the memory lingers. That was a lovely piece of writing you did on that."

Ray Faraday: "Fear in particular, directly influenced all my work... "

David Hartwell pronounced: "Fear is one of the foundations of the contemporary horror genre, widely influential, and powerfully effective. Fear is a work of deep psychological insight and moral complexity that helped to transform horror literature from an antiquarian or metaphysical form into a contemporary and urban form with the gritty details of everyday realism. From Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, a literary debt is owed to L. Ron Hubbard for Fear."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Fear does something very rare -- it lives up to its title. Hubbard defines the essence of what it means to be afraid."

Robert Bloch, author of Psycho: "Fear is L. Ron Hubbard's finest work!"

Publisher Weekly: "Hubbard's stunning writing ability and creative imagination set him apart as one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century."
