Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

"The Fear" is the third book in bestselling author Charlie Higson's terrifying adventure series for teenagers.

Set in a world in which grown-ups have all turned into zombies, "The Fear" follows London children doing their best to survive while being hunted by the people who once looked after them.

You can download the first 18 pages of the book as a taster right here.

Inspired both by Greek mythology and fairy tales of terror throughout the ages, and written by former Fast Show comedian Charlie Higson, five signed hardcover copies of the book have landed on The Independent on Sunday's desk - and we're giving them away! All you need to do to get your hands on these books is answer the following quiz question.

This competition closes on Monday 3 October. The Independent's usual competition rules apply.
