Description
Two women quarantined together. A world falling into chaos.
When a virus sweeps across the globe, cities and entire countries shut down overnight. The Fear zooms in on a married couple, Ash and Jack, in one small apartment, growing restless and claustrophobic and paranoid. People are dying in droves. Governments are toppling, imploding, lashing out. Martial law, police states, riots, bioterrorism. No one knows what to believe, who to trust.
As the horror ramps up to apocalyptic levels, Jack is slowly unraveling. She shuts herself away and fears everything. Fears the virus has crawled its way inside, down her throat, into the lining of her stomach. Ash is afraid, too—afraid of what her increasingly erratic wife will do to her.
In a pandemic none of us are ready for, should we fear the outside world . . . or what's waiting within?

Character-driven pandemic horror novel. This story masterfully weaves real-life current events and the impact of those events on our mental health. Jack and Ash start of quarantine like most of us did, and the author does an incredible job at building the story from there. Pandemic Horror Novel, check. Weirdness bottled up, check. Couldn't put it down, check. Lost a little sleep over this story, double-check.

The Fear is a pandemic based story, hugely inspired by the Covid-19. I was inspired to read this book as it would be fitting for the current time that we are in.
This book is on emotional horror and is centered around Jack and Ash who are quarantined together in a small apartment. Jack is afraid of the Cardigan man who turns out to be a fragment of her own imagination, who seems to be constantly haunting her thoughts.
The descriptions in this book are expertly done and held my interest throughout, although at some points I did struggle to keep up with the plot of the book.
As the story develops, Jack becomes more deranged, putting Ash in a difficult spot. She is left to choose between protecting herself or her lover.
Summary: Befitting of our time, story of two gay women, harassed and mentally ill. Dealing with issues surrounding the pandemic.
