With its initial working title called "Phantasmagoria," L. Ron Hubbard created what literary historian David Hartwell referred to as "one of the foundations of the contemporary horror genre, widely influential, and powerfully effective.... From Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, a literary debt is owed to L. Ron Hubbard for 'Fear.'" In classic Hubbard style, it is a story about ordinary people in an ordinary setting, who experience something out of the ordinary, something that irrevocably changes them and the world around them. The story's impact is in the suggestion the author leaves behind that it could happen to anyone.

Ray Bradbury acknowledged that "Fear" "deeply influenced me when I was twenty years old" and was a "landmark novel in my life." And Stephen King called it, "a classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror.... This is one of the really, really good ones."

In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Galaxy Press will host a special tribute to "Fear" on October 31st-Halloween-at the L. Ron Hubbard Theatre as part of the performance of Hubbard's supernatural thriller "Borrowed Glory." The doors open at 7:00 PM and event begins at 7:30 PM.
