My Goodreads Summary:
A follow-up to the New York Times best-selling Deep Dark Fears: a second volume of comics based on people’s quirky, spooky, hilarious, and terrifying fears.
Illustrator, animator, teacher, and comic artist Fran Krause has touched a collective nerve with his wildly popular web comic series–and subsequent New York Times best-selling book–Deep Dark Fears. Here he brings readers more of the creepy, funny, and idiosyncratic fears they love illustrated in comic form–such as the fear that your pets will tell other animals all your embarrassing secrets, or that someone uses your house while you’re not home–as well as two longer comic short-stories about ghosts.
My Review:
So, this was a corny and fun book! It involved strange fears or phobias that added a creeptastic element, along with humor.

The Creeps read like a comic book and had some pretty awesome pictures that had a horror vibe. I really liked the humor aspect, and I’m sure there are people that will get overly sensitive about it, and say, “There are people that really have those fears.” Anyway, I felt it was all done in fun.
I especially liked the one about the stuffed animals. So, stuffed animals were once alive and then they suffocate in their box. So, the person who sleeps with the toy is really sleeping with a dead stuffed animal. They were morbid but funny. I wouldn’t have normally gone out and bought this type of book because I normally read novels, but it was quite enjoyable.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
