The Book of Phobias and Manias by Kate Summerscale

I got this book because the cover was neat and the title was even more interesting. I wish that I had read a little bit more because this really was an alphabetical list of many phobias and manias with blurbs about each. It seemed well-researched though the footnotes weren't included in the audio version and there seemed to be a LOT of references to Freud (toward the end I was really wondering if there were no other people worth referencing.) 

Three and a half stars
This book came out September 27, 2022
Borrowed as ebook from Libby
