FORBIDDEN PLANET


EMBRACES 'PHOBOPHOBIA'


FORBIDDEN PLANET FRIDAY 9th DECEMBER 5 – 6pm.




Join ADRIAN CHAMBERLIN, DEAN DRINKEL, WAYNE GOODCHILD, JONATHAN GREEN, DAVE JEFFERY and BARBIE WILDE signing the stunning anthology PHOBOPHOBIA at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Friday 9th December from 5 – 6pm.


There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Twenty-six original tales of horror by established masters of terror and talented new voices lie within this Lexicon of Fear. Beware the dark power of words in Bibliophobia... a carnival double act made in Hell can be found in the clown cemetery in Coulrophobia...


The fear of open spaces manifests itself in Kenophobia, a tale of the ultimate emptiness - the Great Void that awaits us all... the fear of beautiful women is fully justified in Venustrophobia, a tale of futile defence against the Succubus...


Denying yourself a place in Heaven is one way to avoid Jesusphobia, but the only alternative means Hell to pay... a playwright fights his fear of the colour yellow by creating an unusual addition to his Dramatis Personae in Xanthophobia...


Open the pages. It is time to learn your A to Dread...
