John F. D. Taff’s The Fearing Book Two: Water & Wind, coming 20 August from Grey Matter Press
Hot on the heels of the acclaimed first book in the series, Fire & Rain comes book two, Water & Wind. John F. D. Taff’s vision of the apocalypse continues where book one left off and the critical response has been at least as strong as it was for the first title. Josh Malerman (Bird Box) says “The Fearing isn’t only John F.D. Taff’s best book to date, it’s the kind you put on the shelf reserved for the ones that really did something to you, emotionally, intellectually, physically.” The Fearing Book Two: Water & Wind is available for pre-order now.
