Produced by Judy Boss, and David Widger "The Shape of Fear" by Elia Wilkinson Peattie is a collection of ghostly tales likely written in the late 19th century. The collection features a variety of intriguing stories, with a focus on the themes of fear, the supernatural, and the complexities of human emotions, encapsulated in vivid storytelling that draws the reader into a realm where the ethereal mingles with the living. The opening portion introduces Tim O'Connor, a man caught between his artistic aspirations and the haunting grip of fear, particularly a fear of darkness and ghosts. His character is vividly painted as a once-idealistic poet now disillusioned by life and constrained by a toxic relationship with a captivating yet dangerous woman. Amidst the backdrop of a lively saloon culture, Tim’s interactions with friends lead to contemplative discussions about his fears, culminating in a chilling encounter with a beautiful and mysterious apparition he refers to as "the Shape of Fear." This encounter leaves him profoundly affected and paves the way for themes of existential dread and reflection on lost opportunities, setting the tone for the supernatural explorations to follow in the collection.
