“Margee Kerr is a fear junkie. Roller coasters, haunted houses, heights, abandoned prisons, ghosts (well, maybe), even death — she confronts them with the relentlessness of a zombie Terminator. … [She] mixes enough self-awareness and insight with her tales of fright to make the book campfire-worthy.Screammay not haunt you outright, but it stays with you, mainly by showing how the scariest place in the world is inside your own head.”—Washington Post
“While describing her experiences, Kerr insightfully reviews the physical effects of feeling fear… For people who wonder why they like to be scared, these experiments offer some clues. For those afraid of being afraid, Kerr's own enthusiasm gives them reasons to try it.”—Publishers Weekly
“Kerr takes readers on a journey on which they will experience the world's most frightening and terrifying places firsthand… As Kerr explores places that make people tremble, she shares her personal dread on each of these destinations, which makes the book even more captivating… While complete with scientific information, this well-written, fascinating book is accessible to the general public.”—Library Journal
