Description: In "Fear", Irini Spanidou returns to the world of Anna Karystinou and focuses in on a major turning point in her life. Her family has once again settled in a new town, and when Anna turns thirteen, her carefully constructed world flies apart on the wings of unexpected terrors -- not the least of which is a serial killer who has brutally murdered several young women. As Anna grapples with the beginnings of puberty and a heightened awareness of her sexuality, she finds herself inexplicably attracted to Vera, a girl completely unlike anyone she's ever known. Ignoring her well-trained instincts for the first time, Anna creates a bond that threatens to break her spirit when she is forced to end the friendship as her family moves once again. "Fear" is timeless in its observation of how a girl overcomes the greatest fear of all -- that of leaving childhood behind and becoming a woman.
