Johannes Cabal: The Fear Institute - Paperback

Johannes Cabal: The Fear Institute - A Dark Fantasy Adventure

The Fear Institute follows necromancer Johannes Cabal on his most dangerous expedition yet. Employed by the mysterious Fear Institute, Cabal must lead an expedition beyond the wall of sleep into the Dreamlands to hunt and destroy the dread Phobic Animus—the very source of all the world's fear.

Journey Into the Dreamlands

For countless millennia, the Dreamlands have been explored only by philosophers, mystics, and poets with a certain detachment from mundane reality. This realm beyond sleep holds terrors and wonders that challenge even the most hardened souls. As Cabal ventures deeper, he encounters witches, vile abominations, and an inexplicable abundance of zebras along his path.

Face Your Nightmares

When the expedition finally approaches their goal, Cabal must confront his own nightmares. But for a man who communes easily with devils and the dead, surely there is nothing left to fear. This installment in the Johannes Cabal series combines Lovecraftian horror with dark humor and metaphysical terror.

Critical Acclaim

"Howard's characters, relentless imagination, twisting plotlines, and use of language make the Johannes Cabal series a real pleasure to read, and The Fear Institute is the best Cabal yet." —Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series
