_____________________ From the Oscar-nominated screenplay writer of the British cult classic Withnail & I _____________________ The basis for the film A Fantastic Fear of Everything, this black comedy novella tells the story of a writer who has become gripped by paranoia as a result of researching serial killers, and who has a phobia of launderettes. A call from his literary agent, a possible plot on his life and a disastrous trip to the launderette ensue. This satirical, darkly comic journey into the mind of an eccentric psychotic etches at the heart of fear itself.
Bruce Robinson was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay of The Killing Fields. He has written and directed many other films, most famously Withnail and I.
