A rich movie producer wants to hire him to find a gorilla that has been kidnapped from the San Diego Zoo. Jim follows the trail of clues, including the business card of a mysterious gypsy fortune teller, deep into the dark abandoned subway tunnels beneath New York City. At least Jim thought they were abandoned and not the home of a strange collection of outcasts prepping for the end of the world.

List of Fears, a novel by Trevor Shane, is a darkly relevant, heart pounding adventure that will keep you up at night and make you ask yourself questions that you may not be ready to answer.


List of Fears

"You what?" Vintner asked. He heard Jim perfectly but didn't believe the words. He wanted to make Jim repeat himself. 


"I want to help," Jim said again, this time with more confidence. Vintner stared at him. Jim stood up from his chair and walked halfway across the room. He stopped there for a second and then he walked over the window so that he could draw the curtains and let more light in. Then he came back to the table and sat down again. Jim felt better with the curtains open. The room felt less dreary with the addition of sunlight. Vintner had been quiet for a long time. Jim watched him, trying to get a read on what was going in Vintner's head. Jim looked out the window. From Vintner's window, Jim had a clear view of the downtown Manhattan skyline. He could see dozens of tall skyscrapers, each one full of people. Jim stared blankly out the window, trying to gain strength from the light, the image of the buildings full of people barely registering with him.
