FEAR

L.J. Ganser portrays the complicated world of Miles Kendrick and its sizeable cast, including Andy, Miles's best friend whom he killed and who appears as a sneering specter that symbolizes Miles's fear. Recovering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, Miles is suddenly swept into new fears as two more PTSD patients come into the story. Together, the three must overcome their phobias to find a cure for their ills. We have to understand Miles's world quickly, for it changes almost as fast as Ganser describes it. Just as we come to believe in Miles's tender, troubled therapist, Dr. Alison Vance, she's murdered--and Miles flees one nightmare only to find villains and new terrors waiting in the next.
