Resources on the philosophy of fear?

Since a very young age, I have found this emotion to be one of the most fascinating... especially with how it hinders a person. 

If you know of any resources on the philosophy of fear and can share them here, it would be much appreciated! Thank you.

You might find that, through studying what people who study the virtue 'courage' (cf. Aristotle, the Stoics, or any virtue ethicist, really) have to say, it would help to illuminate the nature of fear. Also, this may be a little different from fear (although it certainly contains it), but *angst* or *anxiety* are crucial concepts in the existentialist tradition (cf. Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, or even certain Buddhist texts). And, finally, of course, the key scholars of the psychoanalytical tradition (cf. Freud, Jung, Marcuse, Irigaray) have some interesting things to say about where fear *originates* and how it manifests itself in one's decisions/actions and general perception of the world.
