Russell R. James erschafft beunruhigende Geschichten, die den Leser in Reiche entführen, in denen das Vertraute zum Fremden wird. Seine Erzählungen dringen in die dunkleren Winkel der menschlichen Natur und in die Verlockung des Übernatürlichen vor, oft durchzogen von einem beunruhigenden Gefühl der Furcht. James versteht es meisterhaft, komplexe Handlungsstränge mit unerwarteten Wendungen zu verweben und so ein fesselndes Leseerlebnis zu schaffen, das lange nach der letzten Seite nachwirkt. Sein Werk zeichnet sich durch eine unheimliche Atmosphäre und die Erforschung tief verwurzelter Ängste aus.

'Underground' ist ein schwarzer Thriller mit scharfem Blick auf die gesellschaftliche Realität.

An essential resource for workers navigating their retirement and pension options, from the labor organizer's perspective.Researching retirement plans should not take the rest of your life, even if deciphering the relevant paperwork seems to have become a full-time job. Deliberately elaborate legalese is obscuring the efforts of financial elites to seize control of workers' collective retirement savings―and The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans is here to translate.Neoliberal retirement reforms have escalated elites' efforts to replace guaranteed workplace retirement plans with weak 401(k)-like savings accounts and risky stock market investment schemes.
