abbr. International Standard Book Number ISBN International Standard Book Number ISBN n abbr (= International Standard Book Number) → ISBN m 0-758-20575-9 This first horror collection from Robert Fleming is an ambitious work that draws heavily on the mythology of and stereotypes about people of African descent in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , the Caribbean, Africa and Europe. Havoc After Dark features stories with musicians, soldiers, vampires, hoodoo men and women, and just plain folks "Plain Folks" is one of the seven forms of propaganda. A Plain Folks argument is one in which the speaker presents him or herself as an Average Joe, a common person who can understand and empathize with a listener's concerns. . Fleming shows promise in using the historic terrorism inflicted on black people as fodder for horror stories. What can be more frightening than the point of view of a man hunted and caught by a lynch mob? In "Arbeit Macht Frei "Arbeit macht frei" is a German phrase meaning "work brings freedom" or "work shall set you free/will free you" or "work liberates" and, literally in English, "work makes (one) free". " Fleming takes the reader to World War II Germany to share an American soldier's encounter with death camp survivors. The tale stands out because his descriptions are so strong and the pace of the story allows for a few suspenseful moments and surprises. As a whole, however, this collection doesn't consistently achieve heart-pounding suspense. Reviewed by Bernadette Adam Davis Bernadette Adams Davis is a playwright and freelance writer in Florida. |
