Kurzbeschreibung
Eric Garth is a Korean War veteran who has spent the last several months of his life in a psychiatric ward. There, he becomes romantically involved with a nurse named Leda, who seems to have more than just a passing interest in the inheritance that Eric is due to receive once his ill mother passes. When Eric is fingered for a brutal murder, an incident that he doesn't remember happening, he begins doubting his own sanity. Is he a delusional killer, or has he been set-up? This is the first publication of this pulp classic in 57 years.

solid pulp
19. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Gil Brewer was a writer who was dependent on lean prose (think of a pulp-version of Ernest Hemmingway) yet who managed to create fiction with an emotional punch. Flight to Darkness, long out of print, is a solid if not spectacular novel, certainly a worthwhile read for any Brewer enthusiast. While some of the themes (amnesia for example) may seem cliche by today's standards, Brewer manages to keep the plot raw and compelling and allows us to care and sympathize with the characters (a rarity in much of crime fiction). As far as the reviewer who felt there were many typos in this version, I respectfully disagree. Compared to the original version, which I own, I feel it was cleaned up nicely.

Riddled with typos, not that compelling of a story
27. Mai 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Gil Brewer wrote some great stories in his day, but Flight To Darkness isn't one of them. It's decent enough, I suppose, for fans of this type of amnesia-noir, but comes off like a hackneyed cliche in the plot department. Brewer does serve up some nice bits of descriptive text/inner monologue here and there, but the dialogue isn't anything special, so it makes it kind of hard to connect to the characters through their conversations. To make matters worse, New Pulp Press did a poor job editing the book (as in, I don't think they edited it at all, just scanned it in and said, "who cares?" like so many reprint publishers). As a result, the book is riddled with typos and missing words, which makes for an annoying reading experience. It's also horribly overpriced for barely being 200 pages, so I'd buy it used if you buy it all.
If you want to read Gil Brewer's best stories, try: The Vengeful Virgin, A Devil for O'Shaugnessy/ The Three-way Split (note that only The Three-Way Split is any good in this double feature, and by good, I mean fantastic), The Red Scarf, and the long out-of-print, but spectacular A Killer is Loose.
