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 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.

Praise for The Creeps

Praise for Deep Dark Fears:

  • "Web cartoonist Fran Krause takes 101 of the darkest and most wildly irrational fears he and his readers harbor, and exposes them to the brilliant sunlight of his friendly, colorful art. You'd think the humorous disconnect that inevitably results would render these four-panel Zen koans of everyday horror ("I'm not waving at anyone / And I'm not crazy. / I'm just making sure there are no / Invisible people in my bathroom") safer, less unsettling. You'd be very wrong." -- NPR's Book Concierge
  • "Many of the [fears] are ridiculous and many are existential, but it's both comforting and freeing to realize that you have the same secret shame as at least one stranger out there in the world. Ultimately, that's the core appeal of Deep Dark Fears: discovering that you're not the only one afraid an elevator will chop you in half or you'll be revealed to be an improbable imposter... Krause has made it easy for the reader to feel even just a moment of sympathetic anxiety." -- The A.V. Club
