The twenty-five-year-old American grad student rose to instant notoriety when he confessed to the slaughter of his classmate Liam Stewart, claiming the Devil made him do it. When Hale is found hanged in his prison cell, officers uncover a handwritten manuscript that promises to answer the question that's haunted the nation for years: was Hale a lunatic, or had he been telling the truth all along? The first-person narrative reveals an acerbic young atheist, newly enrolled at the University of Edinburgh to carry on the legacy of his recently deceased father. In need of cash, he takes a job ghostwriting a mysterious book for a dark stranger--but he has misgivings when the project begins to reawaken his satanophobia, a rare condition that causes him to live in terror that the Devil is after him. As he struggles to disentangle fact from fear, Grayson's world is turned upside-down after events force him to confront his growing suspicion that he's working for the one he has feared all this time--and that the book is only the beginning of their partnership. \"A modern-day Gothic tale with claws\" (Jennifer Fawcett, author of Beneath the Stairs), A History of Fear marries dread-inducing atmosphere with heart-palpitating storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuke Dumas\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eA History of Fear.\u003c\/i\u003e His nonfiction has appeared in \u003ci\u003eLiterary Hub\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Hobart\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Last Exit\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.
