Christine Harmon is not afraid of anything. Dr. Blau wants to know why. He subjects her to a seemingly endless series of experiments, testing her reactions to spiders, rollercoasters, and being buried alive. Christine’s boyfriend, Carl, a professional archer turned party-entertainer, doesn’t care why. He subjects her to a seemingly endless series of increasingly dangerous party tricks. As the experiments and tricks grow weirder and more dangerous, Christine is forced to come to terms with her past, and the men in her life who both love her and do her harm.

Praise for Fearless

“A high-wattage thrilling comedic fantasy. A novel as FEARLESS as the title suggests in exploring the vast expanse of what it means to be courageous and vulnerable as we face the hazards of our own ambitions, insecurities, and our past. An absolute MUST read! It will hook you and never let you go.”

—Melissa Rauch, Actor, Writer, & Producer

“Like Vonnegut, Benjamin Warner writes with his whole head and his whole heart. Fearless is funny, surprising and moving, somehow both absurd and warm, with characters who could walk off the page. It’s magic.”

—Rob Roensch, author of The World and the Zoo and The Wildflowers of Baltimore

“Benjamin Warner’s Fearless is a tender, funny, sideways investigation of what it means to feel, even when we think our world has slipped away from us—or we’ve slipped away from our world—to love through loss and to traverse the tricky terrain of caring for those who need us. In tightrope-walking, lyric prose, Warner populates a burning wintry city with unlikely inhabitants whose lives crisscross through the smoke (and submerged trauma) that both keeps them apart and pulls them back together. Fearless is daring and fast, immersive and poignant, cohered through Warner’s dexterity in capturing the intricate vulnerabilities of being human.”

—Thea Brown, author of Famous Times and Think of the Danger
