Publisher Description

Professor James Lowry doesn't believe in spirits, witches, or demons. Not until one gentle spring evening when his hat disappears, along with four hours of his life. Now, the quiet university town of Atworthy is changing, just 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, and if you find your four hours then you will die!

Praised alike by readers and authors such as Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, Fear turned the horror genre in the direction it goes today; one in which the horror is based on everyday realism and could conceivably happen to anyone.

L. Ron Hubbard took an ordinary man, in a very ordinary circumstance, and descended him into a completely plausible but extraordinary hell.

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

"Michael Grant has done it again. I love this series. The twists, and turns make this book worth the read. This is not my favorite book but I believe that is because I am ready for everything to end. I still really enjoyed this book though."

    " I love these kids. I'm almost embarrassed how much I enjoy the whole series. They are scary, and yet I recognize all the personality types. Definitely a young adult book with some adult book themes! "

    " Rarely does horror fiction affect me…but this one sent my mind spinning. Bizarre dreams, moments of odd introspection and just an overall feeling of unease accompanied me during my time with this book. The story didn’t get me as much as Hubbard’s prose and insane tangents did. "

    " I wonder if reading a book like this, written in 1940, is akin to watching The Birds... not scarey by today's standards but maybe it laid the foundation for the modern horror writers. "

    " Much like the early work of Stephen King, this novel is literally gripping. It grips with clammy claws, with skeletal fingers, with--I'm too creeped out to write any more! "

About L. Ron Hubbard

L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986), with nineteen New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 million copies of his works in circulation, was among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of the twentieth century. As a leading light of American pulp fiction through the 1930s and 1940s, he was further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to him.
