Fear Street # 85

'The Sign of Fear' takes us back to Matthew Fier as he finishes walling himself up alive in order to protect the Fear Amulet from discovery in 'The Betrayal'. His chronic laughter doesn't prevent him from musing about the origins of the amulet in the distant past, or about when he reacquired the amulet for himself when he was a young man.

We're following two timelines here. The first is in Britain in 50 CE, about the time the Romans were conquering the island in earnest. The other is in the late 17th century in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Our protagonists, such as they are, are Fieran, a Celtic spellcaster, and Christina Davis, a young woman recently orphaned. The stories are connected by the amulet, but, um, details are very hand-wavey and there's really no attempt to develop these characters or the magic. We feel bad for Christina, who is sold into slavery by her cruel Aunt to an odd household, but we don't really get a sense of who she is except for who she has a crush on. Fieran has some clearer goals, but his limited personality is subverted to the needs of the plot. The only thing I liked was Christina's - not a Puritan name by the way - entrance where she gets ahold of the amulet in a nice, subtle way. The death scenes were fine, but I'd like to have an inkling of depth to characters to really enjoy a good liquification.

The least this story could have given me was an amulet-forging scene. We don't get it even though we "witness" the creation of the Fear Amulet.

This book is weak enough that I feel confident in skipping the rest of the Sagas except for 'Daughters of Silence', which returns to Angelica and Simon Fear, and 'The Awakening Evil', which is an origin story for the evil that stalks Shadyside Cheerleaders. For those following along, I will still include them in the numbering so they can be read in order by those wanting to.

I was annoyed as usual with the historical inaccuracies in this series, primarily focused on the Celts this time, but I'm not going to go into the complete misrepresentation of druids. Anyway, this book is set up as two parallel stories of deciding between good and evil. Both Fieran and Matthew Fier choose evil, and both end up in a sorry state because of it, as does Emily, practicer of the "dark arts." I am, by the way, thoroughly sick of the term "dark arts," which are some sort of thing Stine has made up involving lots of blood and gore. ( )
