A Definitive Edition of THE FEARING Arrives

Grey Matter Press and John FD Taff Combine the The Fearing Series in New Volume Arriving May 25th

CHICAGO, March 23, 2021 — Originally released by Grey Matter Press (GMP) in 2019 as a four-part series of novellas that was called “the event of the year,” John FD Taff’s apocalyptic novel that remakes the concept of dystopian fiction has been collected for the first time in a single volume: The Fearing: The Definitive Edition.

New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, Josh Malerman, said The Fearing is Taff’s “best book to date.” Malerman adds: “it’s the kind you put on the shelf reserved for the ones that really did something to you, emotionally, intellectually, physically.” Acclaimed author Robert R. McCammon, often credited with defining the post-apocalyptic horror genre with his novel Swan Song, says of The Fearing “a powerful and epic trip into the land of feardom.”

The collected volume includes the unabridged text from each of the original serialized novellas–Fire & Rain, Water & Wind, Air & Dust, and Earth & Ember–rearranged into a modified timeline of events and reformatted into a single, definitive edition befitting a world ravaged by its own pandemic fears. Also featured is a new, special introduction by Grand Master of Horror Ray Garton, author of Ravenous and other novels.

A signed and limited hardcover edition of the collected version of The Fearing will also be published by Thunderstorm Books. More information is available at thunderstormbooks.com.
