With extreme exhibits sent in from all around the world. turn the page to take the tour as we explore the terrifying exhibits find out what frightening things people have banished to the museum’s dusty corridors. Each book explores why we have fears, what the difference is between a fear and a phobia, and some famous scaredy-cats too!

From witches in the woods to… erm, men with beards, we certainly have some funny phobias when it comes to each other. It can’t be fun at the beach if you’ve got genuphobia, and if you’ve got odontophobia then people are most likely scared of you.. or your breath! And don’t worry – this title makes us feel a little phobophobic too…
