Fleming's writing is a bizarre mix of Kobo Abe, Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft, Joyce Carol Oates, Baldwin, and Ray Bradbury. Writing at a grotesque, bewitching tilt, Fleming bares the soul and psyche of his characters, and he spares us nothing. The stories collected here are riveting and haunting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eEvil Never Sleeps\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eEvil Never Sleeps\u003c\/i\u003e busts open its rib cage and exposes author Robert Fleming's heart beautifully.
