Vampires

Fevre Dream

by George R.R. Martin

Steamboat captain Abner Marsh partners with the mysterious Joshua York to build the fastest boat on the Mississippi, unaware that York is a vampire seeking to save his kind from their bloodthirsty nature. Martin's antebellum gothic weaves vampire mythology into the vanishing world of riverboat culture, exploring themes of addiction, otherness, and the violence embedded in American history. A lush, melancholy reinvention of vampire fiction.
