* The Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu is about this, and argues it’s the solution to the Fermi Paradox (everyone is too scared of everyone else to make themselves known)
* Blindsight by Peter Watts, available as a free ebook on his website. It’s not so much *fear*, as the aliens are so alien they are not capable of fear as we know it, but it’s similar.
