War Fiction

The Fervor

by Alma Katsu

In a WWII Japanese American internment camp, a mysterious disease and a chilling legend from Japanese folklore begin to spread, blurring the line between paranoia and supernatural menace. Katsu weaves historical trauma with yokai horror, examining xenophobia, injustice, and the ghosts of collective memory. A chilling fusion of historical horror and social commentary.
