Lemony Snicket is a man who knows about fear. And he's taking over our Twitter feed this Friday to prove it.

His A Series of Unfortunate Events books were filled with deliciously dark slaughter and amusement. His ongoing series, All The Wrong Questions, is crawling with creep and cretinous creativity in the town of Stain'd-By-The-Sea.

And Snicket's latest book, The Dark (illustrated by Jon Klassen, author of I Want My Hat Back and This is Not My Hat) is about a boy named Laszlo who confronts The Dark in his own house. It's scary and awesome and Neil Gaiman narrates the audiobook, so what more do you need to know?

And so, to celebrate its publication this week, the mysterious figure himself will take over @HuffPostBooks on Friday, April 5th between 3.15pm and 3.45pm ET to answer your questions on being scared. He's done it once before, and he made us all fall in love. This time, it's time to confront your deepest fears.

He doesn't otherwise appear on the microblogging service, so this is a rare treat. (Also, because Snicket has never been photographed from the front, we have had to make do with an image of his representative, Daniel Handler.)

All you have to do is leave your questions about FEAR in the comments below or tweeted at us using the hashtag #asksnicket. Mr Snicket will start tweeting his advice this Friday, April 5th.

Don't be scared. Just #AskSnicket.
