Phobiapedia: All Things We Fear the Most!, by Joel Levy

When or where a fear began can sometimes be pinpointed to a specific event or thing, while others seem like they are as much a part of us as the color of our skin. Though, the source of a fear may vary, what is certain is that fear is a very real thing and can be crippling to some. Phobiapedia: All Things We Fear the Most, by Joel Levy, gives us a closer look at the various types of phobias.

You can quickly find the phobia of your desire by way of the Contents or Quick Guide at the beginning or the Index at the back of the book. However, if you're more in the mood for browsing this is a great book to flip through with large colored pictures accompanies by twisting font and easy to follow definitions. I was surprised to find how many fears have been officially identified as phobias, like Autophobia: fear of being alone or Nyctophobia: fear of the dark.
