Fevre Dream貙 c1982, George R.R. Martin
Fevre Dream is a 1982 vampire novel written by American author George R. R. Martin. It is set on the antebellum Mississippi River, beginning in 1857, and has been described by critics and Martin himself as "Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain".
Abner Marsh, a remarkably unattractive but highly skilled Mississippi River steamboat captain, is grappling with a financial crisis in 1857 when he is contacted by Joshua York, a rich, soft-spoken gentleman.

Gosh, this vampire story was long and winded like the Mississippi it was set upon in 1857. Abner Marsh has a new business companion, a mysterious man named Joshua York. Together they buy a new steam boat, the Fevre Dream. Then we see Sour Billy and his master Damon Julian. They have overtaken a plantation in the South. What crosses the ways of all the characters involved? What do we learn about vampires here? Masterly crafted characters and slow storytelling at its best, for my taste a bit too slow. Martin definitely is able to reflect the time he's set the story in but overall this vampire story was a bit too tedious. For fans of winded tales and much time at hand definitely worth a look though.
March 9, 2016
Abner March looks strangely like George R.R Martin. They are both overweight men. They both have long beards and wear sea captain鈥檚 hats. I鈥檓 not sure who came first. Perhaps Martin modelled the character off of his own appearance or perhaps he liked his creation so much that he was compelled to try the style himself. It鈥檚 a little bit weird really, though the book is still quite good even if the protagonist is somewhat laughable in his resemblance of his creator.
This is the French cover:
They just look very similar.
A tub full of blood
George R.R Martin Abner Marsh is a steamboat captain and he, quite naturally, longs for a majestic steamer that will outpace all others. But, he has no money. Conversely, Joshua York is a very, very, rich man who needs a boat to help him conduct his nocturnal lifestyle. He lacks the skills of the trade, so the two pair up. They provide the other with what he lacks though creating a mutually beneficial friendship. Abner gets his boat and Joshua gets his hideout; they both win.
Well, not entirely because Joshua has a dark past. His is a vampire. I think he is characterised superbly in this; he is strong and intense, but at the same time he is open and capable. With his dark powers he could carry out great evil, if he so chose, but he has transcended the limitations of his body and become a morally superior being in the process. He has devised a way to satisfy his thirst without harming anyone. He is a good vampire rather than the demonic blood sucking maniacs that infest this world. And when these said maniacs begin to sniff around Abner鈥檚 boat, the two friends have their dreams crushed. So much for a lovely steamboat adventure, the very walls turn red in the action.
A pointless bad guy
Now here comes the book鈥檚 massive hindrance. Its antagonist, Damien Julien, is an ancient vampire and his ethos is in direct contrast to Joshua鈥檚. He loves blood and he doesn鈥檛 care who he tears open to get it. The man鈥檚 practically a god. He鈥檚 top of the food chain. He can have what he wants when he wants it. He is a typical vampire; he is dark and brooding, but he is also fundamentally flawed. He has no reason to exist. As he himself admits, he has no reason for anything. He just does it because he can. I think for him to be a more effective and dramatic opponent of Joshua鈥檚, he needed to have a dark motive or a hidden evil that drove him. At the moment he has no reason to do anything.
I found him to be completely disappointing. He had no drive or passion even to do evil. He just does it. The character could have been so much more than he was. I鈥檇 rather he was just a basic evil architype than this. It would have been better if he just wanted to rule the world or something. At least that way, he would have a reason to get out of bed at night (see what I did there!) Joshua and Abner were well rounded characters whose actions actually had a reason. They saved the book in my estimation even if the final conflicts were a little bit flat. It should have been a battle of polar opposites.
A good three stars
This is the French cover:
They just look very similar.
A tub full of blood
Well, not entirely because Joshua has a dark past. His is a vampire. I think he is characterised superbly in this; he is strong and intense, but at the same time he is open and capable. With his dark powers he could carry out great evil, if he so chose, but he has transcended the limitations of his body and become a morally superior being in the process. He has devised a way to satisfy his thirst without harming anyone. He is a good vampire rather than the demonic blood sucking maniacs that infest this world. And when these said maniacs begin to sniff around Abner鈥檚 boat, the two friends have their dreams crushed. So much for a lovely steamboat adventure, the very walls turn red in the action.
A pointless bad guy
Now here comes the book鈥檚 massive hindrance. Its antagonist, Damien Julien, is an ancient vampire and his ethos is in direct contrast to Joshua鈥檚. He loves blood and he doesn鈥檛 care who he tears open to get it. The man鈥檚 practically a god. He鈥檚 top of the food chain. He can have what he wants when he wants it. He is a typical vampire; he is dark and brooding, but he is also fundamentally flawed. He has no reason to exist. As he himself admits, he has no reason for anything. He just does it because he can. I think for him to be a more effective and dramatic opponent of Joshua鈥檚, he needed to have a dark motive or a hidden evil that drove him. At the moment he has no reason to do anything.
I found him to be completely disappointing. He had no drive or passion even to do evil. He just does it. The character could have been so much more than he was. I鈥檇 rather he was just a basic evil architype than this. It would have been better if he just wanted to rule the world or something. At least that way, he would have a reason to get out of bed at night (see what I did there!) Joshua and Abner were well rounded characters whose actions actually had a reason.

To enjoy this book, there are some things that I honestly believe that you must possess.
1. A love of steamboats, because goddamn does this book go on and on about steamboats. The main character, Abner Marsh, is a steamboat captain with an obsessive love of steamboats, and as is typical of Martin's writing when he gets Really Involved with something, every single tiny facet of the boat is described...sadly leaving the actually interesting parts, mainly those regarding the pasts of his vampire characters, touched upon but lacking. Valerie in particular gets the short end of the stick, as all we learn of her is that she's very beautiful and, surprise surprise, in love with one of the other characters. Huzzah. Despite of course setting the framework for what could be a quite intriguing cast of characters, he leaves a lot of them really lacking and one-dimensional, which is especially a shame if you happen to read A Song of Ice and Fire before this book and are aware of how much better he could have done.
2. Absolutely no inkling of offense at the word "nigger". Everyone in this book, save for the vampires, uses that term to refer to their slaves. Yes, it's the 1870s, so there is a certain realism in it, but it gets trying around the tenth or so time that someone goes on a nonsensical tirade of nigger-this-nigger-that--and of course, all the people of color in this book speak like Civil-War Deep South Stereotypical Black People, with the full on 'Yessuh/Nossuh' and so many apostrophes that you almost start to get dizzy from how often your eyes go up and down over the page.
3. Actually, no offense at racism whatsoever. It's used so often as an excuse to brutalize black people that if that kind of thing makes you upset, just...step back. (Blah blah historical realism yes we know, but if you're Really Offended at that kind of mindset...not a good plan to read this book.)
4. Patience. It took me far too long to get through this book. The gaps between the remotely interesting bits that I blazed through were much too long, and even when I finally did reach the Big Climax of the Novel, it left me really underwhelmed; perhaps because at that point I no longer really cared about any of the characters or what happened because it had been so long since any characterization had actually taken place outside of 'here is the enemy' and 'here are the good guys'.
At first, this book sounded like an interesting read from an author I honestly enjoy--I picked it up because there aren't that many English-language books to choose from, and I actually rather like vampire stories that refrain from romanticising the hell out of the vampire to the point that they're just Average People Who Happen to Have Inconvenient-At-Times Powers...but this was less about characters, and more an underdeveloped Moby Dick scenario with steamboats. So many steamboats.

Fevre Dream uses a blend of historical fiction and mythology to create an exciting vampire story that deviates from the others.The protagonist, Abner Marsh,a renowned steamboat captain is approached by Joshua York who desires Marsh's help in creating the perfect steamboat.Of course Marsh agrees as his goal is to outrace the biggest and best steamboats on the river.However, his goal is stunted as York has plans of his which intertwine with his aims for his people, as he is a vampire.
The plot is riveting as I found myself asking a lot of questions and anticipating what was going to happen next.The setting was fascinating as the story mainly takes place on the steamboat and is where the historical element comes into the play.Parts of the novel were a bit weak where the plans were just incredibly dumb and obviously not going to work.Also, towards the end this got a bit annoying as their mistakes just became repetitive.
Most of the characters are well written,especially Marsh who is humorous and entertaining whereas York is intriguing and mysterious.The villain was a little overdone as he lacked cause for doing things and quickly became predictable.
As a whole the story is gripping and the writing is good.I haven't read many vampire novels but this one is definitely different to what I've watched and read.Fevre Dream is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of horror or paranormal.

April 20, 2023This is a unique one because for the first 1/3 of it I was just saying out loud 鈥淵eah, George, I like Interview With the Vampire, too.鈥� It really did just feel like he was doing his version of Anne Rice. But from the 40% mark through the end I didn鈥檛 put the book down again.
Handling his vampires in an unusual way, George doesn鈥檛 exactly stick to the Bram Stoker rule book but he doesn鈥檛 stray too far. York is ever the intriguing lesser evil and Julian an all-time big bad. Sour Billy is that cockroach of a character you loved to hate and Marsh was the Everyman that did the right thing, consequences be damned.
It鈥檚 no surprise to me that GRRM can write, as I鈥檝e been reading Song of Ice & Fire books since I was 20. But going back to this you could see the talent was definitely there and it was just the tip of the iceberg. Also, I now know a lot more about steamboats than I ever thought I would.

The year is 1982 and while there have been a ton of traditional vampire novels floating about, the big twist in the vampire industry hasn't quite come about yet with Interview... or has it? Enter Fevre Dream, taking this our darkest mirror to our humanity and turning him into something tragic and noble and throwing him into a Mark Twain novel.
What? Mark Twain? Oh yeah, steamboats, 1857, we've got 15 mile an hour races and chases and deeply disturbing looks at what makes men monsters and what makes monsters into men. Hate being a cow or a slave? Hate being a slave to your baser instincts, and have you decided never to simply give into them, unlike so many others? How heroic. :) Of course, this came out a good deal before our current glut and, at least to me, it marks a sudden and fantastic development in the whole field.
Sure, we might have had some sympathy for the original Dracula, just as we have sympathy for the Devil, but the heroes were much more often outside of the curse. And up till now, Vampires were still just the expression of truly base humanity, not worth much redeeming.
So this human aspect is truly excellent in the tale, but don't let me downplay the real gem here: steamboats. Total immersion in the world. Totally cool. I never guessed that chugging along at 8 miles per hour could be so exciting! But of course, that's all due to a master storyteller. :) GRRM has been around for a long, long time, practicing a very fine craft. We really shouldn't forget that. :)

I almost gave up vampire fiction in the wake of Twilight. Stephenie Meyer wrote the novel to pander to a certain demographic without any familiarity or respect for classic vampire fiction of the past century. Unfortunately, the Twilight saga is very commercially successful and spawned many imitators, lame wishy washy vampire books, and the entire 鈥減aranormal romance鈥� subgenre (锟锟�;). I don't know if good "proper" vampire fiction is still being written these days, but the great ones are still around and are well worth checking out if you are a horror fan. From Bram Stoker鈥檚 to King鈥檚 , Anne Rice鈥檚 , Richard Matheson's and several others. This book, Fevre Dream is also one of the greats.
is, of course, best known for (鈥淎 Song of Ice and Fire鈥� series) but prior to that runaway success he has written several excellent sci-fi stories and novels. Fevre Dream was published in 1982, I read it at some point in the 80s and it has stayed with me to this day. The story is set in 1857 when steamboats dominated trade on the Mississippi River. Captain Abner Marsh forms a partnership with a mysterious stranger named Joshua York whose offer to build the captain鈥檚 dream boat to co-own as a business partner. It transpires that York is a vampire who is also something of a visionary or even messiah among his kind.
His life mission is to redeem the vampire rate and bring about peaceful co-existence with mankind, using a steamboat as his long-distance transportation of choice to facilitate his plans. Not an easy task because humans provide the basic sustenance for vampires, and are generally referred to as 鈥渃attle鈥� among them. Worse still there is a master vampire called Damon Julian who lives on a plantation with his human and vampire underlings in New Orleans. Julian is something of a traditionalist and views vampires as the master race and humans as cattle. When the two mega vamps meet a very bloody struggle for supremacy begins.
All this and lots of steamboating!
Fevre Dream is a gripping and thrilling read, especially in the second half of the book where the pages just fly by. The type of vampirism presented here is what I call 鈥渟ci-fi vampires鈥�, similar to Octavia Butler鈥檚 and Richard Matheson鈥檚 classic . Vampires in this book are simply a different species from humans, it is not possible to convert from one race to the other; garlic, crucifix, holy water etc. have no effect on them. Sunlight is still deadly to them, though.
Besides being a first race horror thriller Fevre Dream also partly a slave narrative, where the slaves are treated cruelly by both humans and vampires. The relations between human and the vampire race are also something of an allegory for slavery and exploitation. The main characters are very well developed, vivid and unforgettable. Interestingly both the good and the evil vampire has a human sidekick to help out with the daytime practical affairs and business. Martin makes an interesting contrast between a friendly partnership and a master and servant relationship built upon deception and false promises.
The prose style is based on the point of view of the human sidekicks from the good and the evil side. As such it is written mostly in simple colloquial style. The unlikely friendship between Captain March and Joshua York is quite touching and forms the moral bedrock of the entire book. The climax is really quite spectacular and unforgettable.
If you are in the mood for some fast-paced horror and have not been put off vampire fiction by Twilight this book is highly recommended.

A帽o 1857.
La cuenca del Misisipi bulle de actividad: los vapores se帽orean sus aguas en feroz competencia. Cuando Joshua York le ofrece sacar a flote su naviera a cambio de unas pocas condiciones, sencillas aunque misteriosas, el capit谩n Marsh ve realizado su sue帽o: ser el patr贸n del vapor m谩s r谩pido del r铆o.
Pero los sue帽os de ambos se ver谩n infiltrados por una pesadilla que anegar谩 de sangre los fondeaderos.
Para su segunda novela en solitario, Martin eligi贸 el Misisipi como escenario hist贸rico de la que ha llegado a consagrarse como una de las novelas de vampiros m谩s celebradas de todos los tiempos.
Pues que quer茅is que os diga, ni fu ni fa..
Buena parte del libro est谩 plagada de viajes en barcos de vapor, la descripci贸n de ellos. Que est谩 muy bien pero no es a lo que ven铆a.
Y cuando finalmente llega el tema vampiros ni me ha soprendido, ni me ha gustado su historia ni me ha enganchado. Tiene ideas muy buenas no es el cl谩sico vampiro. Pero tampoco me ha llamado lo m谩s m铆nimo. He le铆do otros como a Lestat que a煤n siendo el vampiro cl谩sico aporta frescor.
Aqu铆 la idea de los vampiros est谩 muy bien pero primero considero que el worldbuilding pesa m谩s y segundo, que a煤n estando bien las ideas de Martin para crear a estos vampiros, ninguno de ellos como personajes me dijo lo m谩s m铆nimo.
Este libro ha sido un leer por leer, fuera de mi inter茅s por c贸mo terminase o la historia de los vampiros.. El resto se me queda absolutamente ins铆pido.
Dada incluso la "reputaci贸n" que tiene de sangriento.. La verdad es que me ha resultado enormemente decepcionante incluso eso..
Me he aburrido como una ostra en buena parte del libro, muy bien escrito, mucha ambientaci贸n Misisipi, barcos, muy instructivo incluso, lo que quer谩is.
Pero me he aburrido, y llegada las partes que me importaban, nada del otro mundo y ni roz贸 siquiera lo que me esperaba de esta novela de Martin dada la reputaci贸n con la que cuenta y sus rese帽as.
Las ideas est谩n bien, el desarrollo no ha pegado conmigo.
Todo lo que me esperaba no me ha ni cautivado ni soprendido. Hay cosas que ni siquiera las vi como esperaba.. Ha sido una gran decepci贸n.
Utiliza ficci贸n hist贸rica y mitolog铆a para crear una historia de vampiros que se desv铆a de las dem谩s. Es lo que m谩s me gust贸 pero hubo cosas que me fallaron. Varias.
El protagonista, Marsh, un renombrado capit谩n de un barco de vapor, es contactado por Joshua York, quien desea su ayuda para crear el barco de vapor perfecto.
Por supuesto, Marsh est谩 de acuerdo ya que su objetivo es superar a los mejores y m谩s grandes barcos de vapor en el r铆o.
Sin embargo, su objetivo se ve atrofiado ya que York tiene planes que se entrelazan con sus objetivos para su gente, ya que es un vampiro.
La trama est谩 bien, como he dicho las ideas son muy originales para un libro de vampiros, est谩 muy lograda pero ha sido leerlo y es que no me interes贸 lo m谩s m铆nimo.
Me falt贸 garra, falt贸 enganche y que las ideas fueran desarrolladas de una manera a煤n m谩s oscura que honestamente me esperaba dada su reputaci贸n. Pero no la vi por ning煤n lado.
Ha requerido mucha paciencia por mi parte ya para que llegasen las cosas que me interesaban y luego vi茅ndose interrumpidas por otras que ni fu ni fa..
Ha sido una lectura pasable siendo bueno que se queda en un gran sin m谩s que pasar谩 al olvido.
Demasiadas expectativas creo..
No me encontr茅 haciendo muchas preguntas y anticipando lo que suceder铆a a continuaci贸n. No con ello estoy diciendo que sea previsible, para nada. Sino que no me interesaba m谩s all谩 de las escenas de vampiros y su historia.
Para mi tambi茅n sobra mucha p谩gina de barco y ambientaci贸n, que s铆, le da el toque adecuado para la historia pero a su vez me pareci贸 que sobraba mucho de ello.
Est谩 escrito en un estilo coloquial simple. La improbable amistad entre el Capit谩n March y Joshua York forma digamos la base moral de todo el libro.
Pero no he ido leyendo y viviendo con mucho acercamiento, rara vez me pasa esto pero no me llamaron lo m谩s m铆nimo para al menos como m铆nimo preocuparme y as铆 preguntarme por el devenir de sus historias. El desenlace est谩 muy bien pero llegado al final.. ni eso lo arregl贸..
La importancia de los barcos de vapor, los marineros, los sue帽os, la historia est谩 muy bien todo pero esperaba much铆simo m谩s, sobretodo en el ingrediente principal, los vampiros, y no s茅 me ha resultado a partes muy decepcionante y a partes que no cumple con su reputaci贸n.
Todos sabemos que para gustos colores e incluso los momentos de cada lector son importantes, si os gustan los vampiros y quer茅is un enfoque muy diferente a lo hoy planteado, algo que s铆 celebro de este libro, adelante.. y buena suerte.
Me temo que conmigo este libro se dirige a paso decidido e inevitable al olvido.. 鉁嶏笍

鈥淕ood and evil are silly lies, nonsense put forth to plague honest sensible men.鈥�
Technology keeps improving but some parts of life and glory will be lost in the process.
Fevre Dream is a beautiful, multi-layered story that stands as a historical drama bordering fantasy and horror. It's more in line with Urban Fantasy because of the vampires that come out of the fog in our current world, the historical setting plays up on the atmosphere of the old steamboats and their glories, and - while not outright horror - there are chills and quietly disturbing scenes delivered in atmospheric misery. A wonderful mixture of genres that refuses to be strictly defined.
I fell in love with the hero of the book, Captain Abner Marsh, a man who lived for his life on the river. I can't say why he was so enamoring; maybe it was his enthusiasm and drive in life to live his dreams. He was suitably flawed, crass, crude, ill-tempered. His appearance was described often as awful and it was clear he'd long ago left aside any illusions of attracting people and living a life as a married man. Instead he married the river and never looked back.
In an end of the year reading survey, one of the questions is to name the favorite characters I discovered in 2015. One of them was Augustus from Lonesome Dove, and one of them was Abner Marsh of Fevre Dream.
The steamboats become characters of their own. I never thought much about them before, but this book brings to mind the joy that must have existed with them once upon a time. They were brought to a sort of life by the men who spent their lives building, dreaming, running, and racing these boats.
George R.R. Martin's writing style charmed me in this haunting tale. The man has a way with words that is as captivating as the magic he reminisces. Slower, sedate pace proves not to be a problem because the words are so gorgeous, the characters rich, the story enchanting.
This isn't the usual vampire tale - no sparkly vampires here, but really no actual vampires as we've known them before anyway. And that is okay, because it wouldn't make sense Martin would give us the typical, overdone fare. Some people only like the cruel, demented, soulless creatures that started with Dracula lore and legend, but this is a refreshing and non-romantic, realistic look at another sort. I enjoy three-dimensional creatures over flat paper creations, so Joshua York fits the bill ideally, but just in case we do also get an insane and twisted enemy for him to stand against and beside.
The ending is sad but inevitable, leaving me with me with a depressed but contented feel. Bittersweet nostalgia and gripping wrap-up match the tone of the book. Abner starts as a man who has lost his world when his company dwindled, saw the chance to live again - and live he did, but as we all know good things don't last forever.
You would think a book of this length being spent mainly on a boat would have boring lulls, but that wasn't the case at all. I was as entranced with the book as the men who rode these were by the river. There was a dreamy vibe felt when reading it; I could almost smell and picture those foggy nights and riding under that moon he described. Stunning stuff, the feeling comes back as I recall the story.
Recommended as a different adventure into the mind of a fantasy legend.

I believe all authors have a certain piece of work that sadly doesn't get its due credit. For , that book would most probably be .
I personally enjoyed this novel, and though preoccupied with a Transition Camp for medical school, I managed to finish it throughout my 2-night stay at that camp. The book was quite fast-paced, and there are a few parts in the plot which I think could've been longer - but it all worked out quite nicely.
Many would claim Fevre Dream was a feeble attempt made by George R.R. Martin to reinterpret the vampire novel just as was his reinterpretation of what would be , or just as was a reinterpretation of what would be frost/ice from . Though, just like the Children of the Forest and the Others, I personally think the master of modern fantasy - George R.R. Martin - did his reinterpretation went quite well.
I find the book highly underrated. Many critics and reviewers gave the book relatively low ratings most probably because they were expecting something similar to A Song of Ice and Fire - but I'd like to believe that good writers never tell two different tales in the same way (take C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, for example). The voice of Fevre Dream is definitely not that of a A Song of Ice and Fire. Fevre Dream is told in single-setting accounts rather than in separate point-of-views like in A Song of Ice and Fire.
Others may have disliked the book because of its theme and/or genre. lore is something I personally like, but I know that the it's been "done to death" by movies and perhaps even "spoiled to the core" by books and reinterpretations like . But that's what makes George R.R. Martin a genius in his work - he takes something that was once enjoyed by readers but has been recently "done to death" and repackages it in a way readers can once again enjoy them. , , and mysterious alien fauna have been mined to depletion by every high fantasy and science fiction book, movie, and game out there, but you see them repackaged nicely in works like , , and .
Though genre and voice may seem un-Martin-like to those used to the high fantasy setting of Westeros, the tone is, in fact, very, very George R.R. Martin. I see no reason why Fevre Dream should be like A Song of Ice and Fire, and within the context of taking it as a book on its own, I see no problem with it being a vampire novel - just don't recall any Twilight Saga events and see it as a reinterpretation of vampires like Dracula or Nosferatu. Subtract the factors of it being "unfamiliar" or of it being "vampire", then you got yourself a really, really good book.
The book follows the tale of Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain who has just taken in the mysterious and odd, but wealthy, Joshua York as a new business partner. Though York's offer of a cash and a new boat, the Fevre Dream, was one Captain Marsh just couldn't refuse, it doesn't take long 'til the seasoned captain realizes that the Dream he has just gotten himself into would turn into a quite adventurous yet fantastic nightmare.
George R.R. Martin fan, or not... Vampire fan, or not... Fevre Dream is a delightful read. In terms of genre, it's both quite unique, yet very familiar - probably a must-have in your personal library if you're into collecting modern fantasy novels, novels with historical fiction settings, or novels about paranormal creatures.

Yet another interesting spin on the Vampire mythos, Fevre Dream is a delightfully atmospheric historical horror-drama. It skirts dangerously close to the boundary between Horror and Urban Fantasy, but it still manages to stir up some legitimate scares. This is George R.R. Martin, after all, and one or two of the more disturbing scenes will likely echo with you for an uncomfortable space of time.
That night he dreamt. In his dreams he was dark and graceful, elegant and predatory. It was always night in his dreams, and he roamed the streets of New Orleans beneath a full, pale moon.
That said, it isn鈥檛 a scare-a-minute story this. There鈥檚 a lot of build up here. The characters are colourful and well presented, but there isn鈥檛 much in the sense of progression. You鈥檒l find yourself more than a little frustrated when the protagonists fail to follow through on obvious solutions and when, a 100 pages or so later, the status quo is exactly the same. In fact, fully half the book consists of what can only be described as an impasse鈥� or stalemate.
Through the dark he stalked them, gliding soundlessly over the brick sidewalks, hearing their frantic footsteps and their panting.
Fortunately, this isn鈥檛 an oversight on the author鈥檚 part. The frustration Martin generates with his story is integral to the plot, but it does make for some uneasy reading. There are also some parallels drawn between slavery and the Vampire 鈥渃ulture鈥� (for lack of a better word). If this doesn鈥檛 make sense, you need to read the book.
The night was his, and all the nights forever, and the red thirst was on him.
The title of the book, which also happens to be the name of a Steam Boat featuring prominently in the story, is rather apt. The story has a feverish quality to it, as if everything is being filtered through your drug of choice. It鈥檚 good stuff, but it straddles a precarious line between Horror, History and Fantasy. I鈥檓 not sure whether this will appeal to everyone, but I will definitely recommend it.
I read the Fantasy Masterworks edition.
When he woke from the dream, he was hot and fevered, and his sheets were wet.

Re-read finished on 1.24.13.
This books cements its spot as one of my all time favorite novels. Vampires on a steamship in the 1850's on the mighty Mississippi River. Not only is it a great premise, but Mr. Martin follows through and delivers one hell of a story to back it up.
Highly recommended!

Catorce a帽os de comenzar a destruir nuestros sue帽os matando a nuestros personajes favoritos de la saga de Canci贸n de Hielo y Fuego, George R.R Martin public贸 esta novela de terror que es bastante diferente a los libros que lo har铆an famoso tantos a帽os despu茅s.
Sue帽o del Fevre es una excelente novela de vampiros ambientada en Saint Louis durante el auge de la esclavitud en los Estados Unidos.
Es un libro protagonizado por dos personajes muy interesantes. Por un lado tenemos a Abner Marsh, un veterano marinero devenido en empresario, bastante bruto y mal hablado, aunque extremadamente honesto y leal. Al comienzo de la novela, Marsh se encuentra en una situaci贸n econ贸mica bastante delicada, ya que a su compa帽铆a naviera no le va nada bien. Fue gracioso leer a este personaje porque su descripci贸n f铆sica se asemeja a la apariencia del propio George R.R Martin (con la diferencia que Marsh es mucho m谩s corpulento), al punto tal que imaginaba al autor protagonizando su propia novela.
Como contrapunto del brusco marinero aparece Joshua York, un misterioso extranjero que le ofrece a Marsh convertirse en su socio y comprar el barco a vapor m谩s grande del r铆o Misisipi: el Sue帽o del Fevre. De esta forma queda establecida esta inusual sociedad entre dos personajes muy peculiares, solo que el refinado caballero franc茅s tiene otros planes para el barco.
Por otra parte, en una decadente plantaci贸n de Nueva Orleans, un vampiro que se hace llamar Damon Julian est谩 cometiendo toda clase de atrocidades con la ayuda de Billy Vinagre, un humano que a帽ora convertirse en una criatura de la noche y para ello cumple la voluntad del vampiro.
Como ya sabemos gracias a la saga Canci贸n de Hielo y Fuego, el fuerte de Martin son los personajes y las interacciones entre ellos.
En 芦Sue帽o del Fevre禄 Martin tambi茅n hace gala de su gran habilidad para crear personajes interesantes: la relaci贸n que se establece entre Marsh y York es excelente desde las primeras p谩ginas de la novela y, lo m谩s importante, son una dupla que no encaja para nada en los t贸picos de las novelas de vampiros.
Damon Julian y Billy Vinagre tampoco se quedan atr谩s, son personajes que el lector llega a odiar con pasi贸n, a pesar de que sus motivaciones son l贸gicas y hasta cierto punto comprensibles.
Esto 煤ltimo es otro elemento a destacar en esta novela: si bien es una novela con elementos sobrenaturales como los vampiros, Martin trata a estas criaturas de forma l贸gica y realista.
A pesar de que el autor toma una cantidad de elementos de los vampiros cl谩sicos, les da determinados giros (que obviamente no voy a mencionar ac谩, sino para qu茅 leer el libro) que le dan su cuota de originalidad a esta novela. Personalmente creo que esto es algo clave en una novela de este tipo, ya que al ser un g茅nero del que se ha escrito mucho es muy dif铆cil salirse del molde y crear una historia novedosa. Sin embargo, Martin se las ingenia para presentar una historia que es fresca y original, en gran parte gracias a sus maravillosos personajes.
El escenario tambi茅n juega un papel fundamental. Al estar ambientada en una 茅poca tan brutal como lo fue el auge de la esclavitud en Norteam茅rica, el autor se aleja de los escenarios g贸ticos cl谩sicos y de los escenarios de las novelas de vampiros contempor谩neas, como el escenario urbano y (dios nos libre) vampiros que seducen adolescentes en la secundaria.
Si bien el autor no se explaya en los detalles hist贸ricos sobre la 茅poca, se puede decir que es un libro con ligeros toques de novela hist贸rica porque menciona algunos eventos clave como la Guerra de Secesi贸n y el fen贸meno del Ferrocarril Subterr谩neo, episodio muy importante en la lucha contra la esclavitud.
Otro aspecto excelente relacionado con el escenario es que los personajes se comportan y hablan como gente de la 茅poca. En esta novela encontrar谩s desde personajes racistas que hablan con la jerga de los marineros, hasta personajes m谩s refinados y elegantes.
Debo hacer una menci贸n aparte para la prosa de George R.R Martin. Fue la primera vez que le铆 un libro de 茅l en ingl茅s y qued茅 fascinado con su forma de escribir: el juego de palabras y el uso de la met谩fora que hace a lo largo de la novela resulta fenomenal.
Se puede interpretar la palabra Fever como una mala transcripci贸n de la palabra fever que en ingl茅s significa fiebre. A lo largo de todo el libro Martin utiliza met谩foras que aluden al "sue帽o febril" de Abner Marsh de convertirse en el due帽o del barco m谩s veloz del r铆o Fevre, pero al mismo tiempo a la "fiebre de sangre" que se apodera de los vampiros cada vez que est谩n sedientos. Por eso recomiendo que, si tienen la oportunidad, lean este libro en su idioma original.
Si tuviera que destacar algo que no me gust贸 del libro es que por momentos se hace algo lento. El ida y vuelta entre Marsh y York me encant贸, pero es verdad que en cierto momento de la novela como que se estancan en la misma discusi贸n y la trama demora en volver a avanzar. Dejando de lado este m铆nimo inconveniente, estamos frente a una gran novela de vampiros cuyo final me estremeci贸 y me emocion贸 al mismo tiempo.
Calificaci贸n 9/10 (鈽呪槄鈽呪槄鈽�)
Salvo por unos m铆nimos problemas relacionados con el ritmo de la novela, 芦Sue帽o del Fevre禄 es una excelente historia de vampiros protagonizada por una dupla muy simp谩tica. Martin aborda el mito del vampiro desde una perspectiva l贸gica y a la vez cl谩sica, aunque incluye giros muy interesantes que le dan su cuota de originalidad. La prosa de Martin y el escenario son los otros puntos altos de este gran libro y el final me pareci贸 maravilloso. Tengan en cuenta que hay algunas escenas bastante sangrientas (o sea, es una novela de vampiros, tiene que haber sangre (?) y que pueden ser dif铆cil de digerir debido a su crueldad.
Como dato adicional les comento que el libro tambi茅n est谩 disponible en formato de novela gr谩fica. Por lo que pude ver a partir de im谩genes en internet los dibujos son bastante buenos, aunque se pierde la riqueza narrativa de George R.R Martin.

Being a massive fan of George RR Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series, I wanted to check out some of his earlier work, Fevre Dream, the title itself is impressive, and the story involved strange vampires on big steamboats back in the olden days, I had to check this out.
The story is about an unlikely partnership between an ambitious Steamboat Captain (Abner Marsh) and the rich, charming Joshua York, who offers to fund Marsh's operations, Marsh wants to build the biggest, fastest Steamboat on the river, and with York planning to bankroll Marsh and build the boat, providing he accompanies him on the journey and asks him no questions about his peculiar behaviour, which does eventually attract unwarranted attention.
As the Fevre Dream sets sail, Marsh and York strike up a mutual friendship and respect, though Marsh is understandably concerned at the strange company and strange hours York keeps and how he is never present during the daylight, Marsh makes a disturbing discovery.
More alarming is the presence of York's old nemesis, Damon Julian, an old, ancient being who shuns York's offers and wants to stick to the old ways, aided by his odious right hand man "Sour" Billy Tipton, they seek carnage and destruction, much to York and Abner Marsh's dismay.
This book captures the atmosphere and adventure of the steamboats sailing away into the night, from one port to another, trouble never too far away, particularly with Julian and Billy Tipton appearing on the scene, and the protagonist of the story, Abner Marsh, invokes sympathy, an ambitious and determined man, he has devoted most of his life to the river and his fellow steamboatmen gave his life a purpose, uncomfortable around women, as well as his own appearance (known as the ugliest man on the ship) he has shunned any forms of romance, and the thought of losing his beloved Fevre Dream at the hands of Julian and Tipton, rushes him and York into action.
Well worth a look, a dark, gothic tale of vampires, friendships and steamboats, this is nothing like GRRM's later work (A Song Of Ice And Fire in particular) but an interesting read and take on the vampire tale.

An incredible book!
April 27, 2021
Una rivisitazione originale del mito vampirico a met脿 tra Ann Rice e Mark Twain, ricostruzione storica accurata, il capitano Abner Marsh sembra quasi un antenato dello stesso Martin, e la parte dove si parla di Caino e Nod ha probabilmente ispirato non poco Mark Rein路Hagen quando scrisse l'ambientazione del suo popolare gioco di ruolo Vampiri : la Masquerade.
Storia da 鈽嗏槅鈽�, ma Abner Marsh e Joshua York sono una gran bella coppia di personaggi ed ho adorato l'esplosivo finale ed il suo epilogo agrodolce.
Raccomandato a tutti i fan di George R. R. Martin, ai suoi ex-fan (visto che probabilmente non vedremo mai la fine delle sue popolari Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco), e a tutti coloro che preferiscono i racconti di vampiri brutali e sanguinari a quelli rubacuori e luccicosi.

Riverdream o El sue帽o del Fevre es uno de los primeros libros que escribi贸 R.R Martin antes de que lo conoci茅ramos por su obra m谩s famosa, Canci贸n de Hielo y Fuego. La premisa me llamaba mucho y ya que est谩bamos en el mes de Octubre me propuse leerlo y darle por fin una oportunidad.
Esta obra me la le铆 en franc茅s. En cuanto a su nivel de idioma, se encuadra entre un intermedio-avanzado. Lo 煤nico que puede causar alg煤n problema es el vocabulario referente a embarcaciones o argot de la 茅poca.
Por un lado, la idea para historia me ha parecido muy original. Estar en medio del siglo XIX, en medio de barcos de vapor cruzando el Mississippi y con las 鈥渓lamadas criaturas de la noche鈥� pues me atrae bastante. Adem谩s, me gust贸 mucho, los tintes sombr铆os que procura la novela. No lo digo ni por el argumento ni por las escenas se desarrollan en mitad de la noche, sino porque nada m谩s sumergirte en la historia, solo eres capaz de ver todo con una paleta de colores oscuros desde el negro, gris, pasando por el marr贸n, rojo etc.
Por otro lado, los personajes han estado bien, incluso llegan a tener profundidad. Sin embargo, no me llegaron a atraer del todo, por lo que no llegaron a parecerme un poco indiferente los sucesos que les acaecen a lo largo de la novela.
Por 煤ltimo el argumento, se me hizo un poco cuesta arriba, porque todo parec铆a muy lento ,(t铆pica cualidad de Martin), y por eso no me enganch贸 tanto como quer铆a. Sin embargo, me he propuesto releerla par de a帽os, de este modo igual tendr茅 una visi贸n m谩s positiva de la novela.

鈥淲ell, well鈥� That was all Mister Tipton murmured, in such a low voice that even GRRM couldn't hear it, when his knife got The Beast in the eye.
Although Sour Billy Tipton was just one of the characters, but he was the one that I was obsessed with. Despicable old Sour Billy! But I love you for that, for being such a monstrous abominable creature, for waking in me a great deal of HATRED which I didn't know I鈥檓 capable of. Oh Billy, whoever will I hate and love without you?
To despise a fiction character so badly needs a master to create it: Ladies and Gentlemen je vous pr茅sente the great creator of all THE BLOODMASTER George R.R. Martin! I haven鈥檛 experienced such a hatred toward a character in years thanks to GRRM (even if I did I don鈥檛 remember!), and now all that I can imagine is that one painful death was not enough, and in my mind I go on killing Billy with a thousand ways of torturing to death!!!
OK OK! I think鈥� I over reacted! I鈥檓 still in the Fevre of the novel and I still feel my red thirst to spill Billy鈥檚 blood is not faded. But鈥�! never mind.

I really enjoyed this wonderful horror urban fantasy, rating this a five-star read because of so many reasons. 1, it hard to put down until the end. 2, a creative and highly enjoyable vampire thriller. 3, excitement riverboat traveling tale. 4, such excellent characters, and 50, George R.R. Martin is one of my favorite authors with a great writing style. I love everything about Fevre Dream, the best vampire story I ever read (I read very few, maybe less than 5). So, I can鈥檛 judge this book with other vampire stories, but still, I think its a very well written, the intensity continued until the end-story. I would highly recommend to those who like thriller, vampire, suspense, and traveling river story.

Beautifully written tale of the most unlikely union. The atmosphere on the river/steamboat was breathtakingly real. There isn't really much to say about this novel that other reviewers haven't already said. I'll simply add that I stayed up and read nearly the entire novel in a single night--that's how hard it was to put down!
Highly recommended!
Highly recommended!

This was my first George RR Martin book. I watch the Game of Thrones tv show, which is what sparked my interest in reading something by him, but thought I'd try out a stand-alone novel before I plunged headlong into A Song of Fire and Ice.
So, what did I think? Well, my initial reaction was that it was a complete swipe of Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire, to be honest. As the book went on, and as Martin started to demonstrate a large Mark Twain influence as well, it started to veer away from being a complete swipe and go off in its own direction.
Despite my early reservations, I found myself swept up in the tale Martin was spinning and enjoying the (steamboat) ride quite a bit. It was certainly sinister and bloodthirsty enough to satisfy the horror fan in me. I really liked the protagonist; Abner Marsh is about as unlikely a hero as you'll find in modern fiction and that accounts for a good portion of his charm.
Martin certainly knows how to pace a story and his prose style is delightful; I'll definitely be reading more of his work in future. As for this novel, though, despite enjoying it I felt it was too close to the 'swipe' end of the 'love-letter or swipe?' scale for me to give it more than three stars. I mean, it says on the cover that this is a groundbreaking vampire novel but his vampires, apart from were identical to Anne Rice's. The story's even set in the same part of the world! While this wasn't enough to spoil my enjoyment completely, I'd hardly call it groundbreaking.
Regardless of this, Fevre Dream remains an entertaining romp of a horror novel. You could do a lot worse.

I have read very few vampire books and this one sets a very high bar. Set by the Mississippi in the 1850s this is story telling at its best. Martin evokes perfectly the era of the steamboat with New Orleans as a melting pot of hard living characters, slaves, freed slaves, pilots and steamboat captains, plantation overseers, Creoles. I found it clever the way Martin uses his context to highlight the parallels between the slave owners and the vampires with their 'cattle'.
I loved Abner Marsh, to my mind the hero of this tale, with his honesty, stubborn loyalty, pride and courage. Is there hope? Can good triumph over evil? Was there any difference between the white man's dominion over slaves any the vampires' dominion over their thralls?
This is a must read for fans of vampire literature and even if you're not, actually. It's also nice to be able to confirm for myself that George R Martin has more to him than The Game of Thrones and he is in fact adept at a shorter and stand alone story.

Another group book and my first by Mr Martin. I must say it was very different from other Vampire books that I鈥檝e read. No love story, just battle of wills between good and bad.
Joshua York offers a partnership offer to Abner Marsh, a former successful riverman. But he also put some conditions for Abner like he would never ask question about York鈥檚 behaviour or his guests. Abner accepts York鈥檚 conditions and commenced the partnership. With York鈥檚 wealth Abner made a boat of his dreams and named it 鈥淔evre Dream鈥�. During the course of its journey, Abner finds out that Joshua was a vampire and he was furious at Joshua for hiding his true nature from him. When Joshua told his story and motive (of helping his people and be friendly with humans), Abner saw it as a worthy cause and decides to help Joshua in any way he could. Joshua wanted his opponent Damion, a very old vampire, to understand his motive and help him and create a new world for his people.
Story is told from dual POV. Whereas Abner describe the story for himself and Joshua, Bill Sour (a human) tells story for Damion Julian and himself. Abner and Joshua were symbols of good while Billy and Damion were pure evils.
Abner is pick of the characters for me. His love for 鈥淔evre Dream鈥� is admirable. He is fearless and courageous. His will to recapture his boat from Damion is what makes this story so good. Billy鈥檚 role in this story is also worth mentioning. Though he is pure evil and a slave to Damion yet his end is pitiable.
One characteristic that every character had was selfishness. Abner was selfish about his boat, Joshua was selfish about the good of his race, Damion was selfish about maintaining his domain and Billy was selfish for the wish of becoming a vampire. And this selfishness of characters is the base of the story.
Martin鈥檚 research on Mississippi river transportation system was thorough and captive. His writing was compelling. Story was good too but sometimes it was very slow to keep up with.

I didn't know how badly I needed George R.R. Martin's steamboat vampires in my life. This book was just fun - not profound, not life-changing, didn't make me weep, didn't blow my mind. But it's an entertaining story set in a brilliantly-realized historical milieu, full of captivating characters and a steady diet of suspenseful scenes. I sometimes forget how masterful Martin is at just spinning a really good yarn, and I shouldn't.
In 1857, along the Mississippi river, down-on-his-luck steamboat captain Abner Marsh is contacted by a mysterious man named Joshua York with a business proposition: York will buy a half-interest in Marsh's firm, allowing him to build and operate the steamboat of his dreams, so long as York is named co-captain and allowed to use the boat for his own purposes.
His own, very strange purposes.
Having recently lost most of his fleet, Marsh is in no position to refuse, and with the glorious new ship, the Fevre Dream, he has visions of captaining the fastest steamboat on the Mississippi. So what if York is a little eccentric - only leaving his cabin at night, insisting on long stopovers in odd places, and frequently returning with blood spattering his immaculate suit?
But if you think you can see where this is headed, the story has a few tricks up its sleeve, and even if it is a bit predictable at times, it remains constantly entertaining. Marsh and York are both such deeply charming characters, and the story unfurls at a perfect clip - sometimes languid and lush like a river cruise, sometimes rapid and thrilling like the steamboat race Marsh is so desperate to win.
I'm torn between rating this 3 or 4 stars - I usually reserve 4-star status for books that inspire strong emotions or introduce me to some really sparky new ideas, while this is just a good story well-told. So 3.5 stars, but I do recommend.
