‘The skull bell tolled, but only Lena heard it.’ – L.L. MacRae (Bone)
Fear is universal – a shared human experience that provokes awe, curiosity and terror. It feeds our anxieties, elevating our heartbeats and driving the instinct to survive. But what are we afraid of – and why?
Each story in this anthology seeks to answer that question, blurring the boundaries between horror and fantasy fiction.
A collection of tales written to evoke feelings of discomfort and despair, fear and fascination in equal measure – inspired by the different parts of our own fragile, breakable, all-too-mortal bodies.
Ranging from dark, blood-stained gothic streets to haunting visions of otherworldly beings to drug-fuelled paranoia trips that twist reality, The Anatomy of Fear is an exploration of the dark realms of the mind.

What Readers are Saying…
Ed Crocker
On Blood: “Some authors, for example, focus more on the horror than the fantasy, clearly having fun playing in a different genre. Perhaps the most successful of these is Trudie Skies’ glorious opener Blood, a classic hammer horror vampire tale.”
Sue Bavey
On Blood: “A deliciously creepy gothic horror tale of a vampire hunter in an Agatha Christie style whodunnit at an isolated dinner party. The hostess paints in blood and her guests include a funeral director and a phlebotomist. This was an immersive story and a lot of fun to read. I didn’t guess who the vampire was until the final reveal!”
