The Phobia List

2007-06-30

“Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.”.
(German proverb)

“It started in a bar one afternoon.
We were trying to think of the name of a phobia and couldn’t think of it.
I looked for it when I got home and started writing down the ones I found.
Pretty soon it was a fairly decent list. Last count was about 530.”.
The Phobia List, by Fredd Culbertson.
