About the Book

Bold and provocative, the short stories in Robert Fleming's Havoc After Dark blend traditional horror with political and sociological chills in which realistic themes such as slavery, war, and capital punishment are harrowingly explored. Featuring a Foreword by bestselling author Tananarive Due, Havoc After Dark challenges the genre by taking real-life horrors from today's headlines, turning them into real-life nightmares. In Robert Fleming's world, terror does not distinguish among class or race or place. See it stalk its prey in a murky basement in Spanish Harlem...under a haunted voodoo moon on a Caribbean isle...by ghoulish candlelight in a Mardi Gras backroom. These are the minutes when reality fades, defenses crumble, and only the unknown triumphs. No one is spared. Not parish priest, shape shifter or fortuneteller. Not homicidal boy or cunning woman. Within seconds, paid killers roam city streets and murderers reborn emerge from fearful chambers of the undead. Within minutes, life slips away to ungodly applause, amulets work black magic, and satanic traditions throw blood at the stars. Now is the instant when... From slavery and infinite consequence to Nazi torture and undying aftermath, from suicide of the soul to death of the body, here are stories that cut to the bone and sear the psyche--Havoc After Dark is a mesmerizing and haunting collection of stories readers won't soon forget.
