INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLIST - The hallucinatory, terrifying first novel of an international literary star and "genius" (The New Yorker)

A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She's not his mother. He's not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.

Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. Part of a new wave of Spanish language horror writers, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.
