Out-of-print for over a decade, Brian Keene's third non-fiction collection is available once again for a new generation of readers. THE NEW FEAR is an unvarnished, no-holds-barred story of a writer at the height of his fame, and the inevitable burn-out that soon follows. It is also a chronicle of a pre-social media internet, and what horror fiction, politics, entertainment, celebrity, and writing were like at that specific moment in time. Featuring such classics as "Zombie Manilow", "Of Dragonflies and Other Spies" (originally censored by the U.S. govrnment), and the epic "Five Hundred Words in Five Days" saga, as well as the origins of the novel Ghoul, a cross-country book tour gone terribly awry, writing advice, social commentary, and guest appearances by J.F. Gonzalez, Dave Thomas, and others, THE NEW FEAR is equally heartbreaking and hilarious. THE NEW FEAR: THE BEST OF HAIL SATEN Vol. 3 - The only thing we have to fear is... everything.

A broken, beaten, and burned-out horror novelist struggles to emerge from the aftermath of two years of personal and professional upheaval. Corrupt publishers, a global economic collapse, an industry in flux, a divorce, and a heart attack have left him unsure of everything, including - for the first time - himself. Courting a death wish and desperate for renewal and reinvention, the writer looks to Hollywood for safe harbor. But when this possible salvation turns into potential damnation, the author and his friends may have to go to war against an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered. In this metafictional memoir, hailed by critics as "simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming" and "a book of unvarnished beauty" Brian Keene reveals what it's really like to write for a living, and how easy it is for an author to lose their soul...
