Forgotten Fears is a collection of stories, many of which have either never been released before and others which were kindle exclusive titles. Most of these tales come from the Dark Corners and Funhouse writing sessions, whilst others were a part of the previously kindle only 'Taste of Fear' series. Along with these, the novella something in the Dark opens this novel sized collection of stories. Brought together for the first time and fully tweaked and re-edited to bring them up to standard, this is the first time print editions of these stories will be made available alongside the usual kindle format.

When Jack the Ripper terrorised London in 1888, he would spark a mystery when he disappeared and his string of violent and horrific murders ended as quickly as they began, leaving one of the worlds oldest unsolved crimes in his wake. Now, in 1907, biographer Charles Hapgood is about to be visited a man with astonishing claims that he was the famous Ripper and wishes to tell his tale before his coming death. Sceptical at first, Hapgood agrees to hear his story, only to soon be shown undisputable proof that his visitor speaks the truth and is who he claims to be. As Hapgood listens to the man's tale, he is drawn into a world of pain, cruelty, horror and sadness as he discovers how an innocent child grew into the greatest living monster the world has ever seen. As the story unfolds he begins to fear for his own safety as the man once known as Jack The Ripper tells his story in his own words, a tale which goes far beyond the known timeline of his horrific crimes and reaches new depths of terror and depravity that Hapgood could never have imagined.

The Marxist conception of the division between mental and manual labor is a critical yet unrecognized aspect of contemporary political struggles. Departing from this novel argument, Michael Bray traces the conceptual and socio-political history of this labor division and emphasizes how the forms of control and organization articulated by that division in practices of production, democracy, racialization, and financialization are becoming increasingly important. Critiquing the left for its tendency to side implicitly with the powers of mental labor, Michael Bray shows that comprehending and challenging those powers is a pivotal task for anti-capitalist politics today.

Roll up to the funhouse, a brand new collection of tales from the author of Whisper, Dark Corners & Meat, Michael Bray. A man who makes an unscheduled stop gets more than he bargained for in 'CANDYLAND.' A Group of teens discover a terrible secret on Samsonite farm in 'SCARECROWS.' A Schoolyard bully and his former victim reunite with horrifying results in 'LONG TALL COFFIN.' A High school party becomes an arachnid nightmare for one unfortunate guest in 'THE BOY WHO SAW SPIDERS.' These are just some of the horrors hidden within the darkest recesses of the funhouse. Look closer if you dare, and indulge in these 16 tales of madness, murder, terror and insanity.
