This dreadfully imaginative, luridly colored, pop-up picture book is guaranteed to evoke a response at a spooky soiree or an Addams family gathering. Opening with dentophobia (clench, grind, drill), and traversing the grim realms of aero-, ophidio-, and claustro-, the phobias keep coming at you (literally) until the end, which is, of course, necrophobia (rest in peace?). And while Halloween is safely behind us this year, there's a long dark winter of discontent just around the corner..
