Who Is Afraid of Onions?: A Graphic Novel about Phobias (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783039641260)

A wildly original graphic novel that dives headfirst into the very real world of phobias--from the fear of flying to the author's own inexplicable fear of onions

Swiss graphic novelist Michaël LaMonnaie offers a unique blend of humor, heart, and psychology as he examines his own lifelong terror of onions. Told through a mix of fictional vignettes and poignant real-life testimonies, the book explores a wide range of anxiety disorders: agoraphobia, school phobia, arachnophobia, and even more surprising fears like bald people or long words.

Rather than mock or minimize these experiences, LaMonnaie offers empathy and understanding, using comedy as a lens to normalize the strange and scary things that live in our heads. Perfect for teens and adults alike, this is an essential, accessible look at mental health--one that makes you laugh, think, and maybe even feel a little less alone.
