Lucy Knisley's latest comic essay focuses on fears -- and the relationship between supernatural fears and our honest, earthly ones. Be sure to check out page two, where Knisley has laid out a beautifully executed, crowd-sourced page featuring her readers and their fears. (Although she didn't participate in said crowd-sourcing, your faithful blogger's greatest fear may or may not be pictured at left.)

I also rather like her take on the appeal of zombie movies. Personally, I've always suspected that people enjoy zombie movies more out of a perverse idealization of the apocalypse than fear of the roving undead. Then again, I tend to have zombie nightmares.
