A novel about fear as the dominant emotion of our time
Week after week, they meet in a pub to tell each other their worst fears – an unusual project which Christoph has invited all of them to join. He is a director, and they are actors, set designers, film editors or just friends. They are afraid of darkness, of love, loneliness, reptiles, madness or mixed-up medical files. Their stories will inspire the screenplay for the horror movie The Ghastly Horror. After months of preparation, they finally begin to shoot the film – and realize that Christoph’s ideas are much more radical than they thought.
