Summary

Achmed Abdullah's 'Fear and Other Stories' is a collection of gripping tales that delve into the depths of human emotion and psyche, exploring themes of fear, love, and loss. The stories are written in a concise and evocative style, with vivid descriptions that transport the reader into the heart of each narrative. Abdullah's use of language and pacing creates a sense of tension and suspense, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century, the stories provide a glimpse into the cultural and social mores of the time, offering a rich tapestry of historical context. Achmed Abdullah, a prolific writer known for his mastery of the short story form, draws upon his own experiences and observations to craft these haunting tales. His background as a traveler and adventurer infuses the stories with a sense of authenticity and depth, making them resonate with readers of all backgrounds. 'Fear and Other Stories' showcases Abdullah's ability to capture the complexities of human nature with precision and insight. I highly recommend 'Fear and Other Stories' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking fiction that explores the darker aspects of the human experience. Abdullah's storytelling prowess and profound understanding of human emotions make this collection a must-read for anyone seeking a literary journey into the depths of the human soul.

    Where there is good there is Evil.  Whether you buy into that or not it makes for excellent literature.  Authors have always explored the subject with abandon, able to unleash dark fears from the page without summoning them into reality or hearing them in withering hegemonic tones from the pulpit at our local church.   
     
    Our fear of the Devil, whatever his temptations and rewards, is amplified by the thought of eternal damnation in his hell house service.    
     
    In this volume our authors are all from Europe and see the Devil in ways that we recognise and yet are culturally distinct to the European mainland.
