Marsh is the practical man who has been on steamboats for decades, York the “soft” man who has spent more time indoors.

All these obsessions lead to great disaster for the passengers of the Fevre Dream.

A third character has an even deadlier obsession, one that brings the vampire lore to the forefront. York is obsessed with things of a more supernatural bent. Marsh is obsessed with having the fastest steamboat, trying to race multiple other craft over the course of the novel. Resurrecting what had otherwise been a doomed business venture, the two invest in building the largest and fastest steamboat that anyone has ever seen, the Fevre Dream, named for the river that flows through Marsh’s hometown in Illinois. The weary, financially troubled shipping magnate Abner Marsh is contacted by a strange man with a lot of money named Julian York, who offers to save Marsh’s company with a number of unusual conditions attached. The novel is driven by its characters, particularly its leads. Like the spaceships of science fiction, steamboats work well as closed environments for odd things to be afoot. It is a book that takes advantage of the vastness of the Mississippi and its attendant rivers, providing an oftentimes eerie isolation to proceedings. Martin has described Fevre Dream as “Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain.” It combines an icon of horror with an icon of antebellum America: vampires and steamboats. Here we turn to one of Martin’s older works: his 1982 gothic novel Fevre Dream. His short stories are incredible: “Nightflyers,” “A Song for Lya,” “The Way of Cross and Dragon.” This is something of a shame, I think, given the many great stories he wrote even before A Game of Thrones (which I confess to never having read). Martin is probably known best for not having finished The Winds of Winter yet. This is the first non- A Song of Ice and Fire GRRM book I’ve read (and it’s not even fantasy) so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but those books are so unbelievably good that I trusted Georgie boy to spin a good yarn here.George R.R. I don’t need to say anything else really. The second installment of the ten-issue vampire epic on the bayou from the writer of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels is.
