""The Fear of the Dead in Primitive Religion"" is a book written by James George Frazer, a renowned anthropologist and folklorist. The book explores the concept of death and the afterlife in primitive societies, and how these beliefs shaped their religious practices and social structures. Frazer delves into the fear and reverence that these societies had for the dead, and how this fear influenced their rituals and customs surrounding death, burial, and mourning.
