Fever dream by samanta schweblin5/29/2023 Schweblin delivers a skin-prickling masterclass in dread and suspense. “This small debut novel packs a mighty, and lingering, punch. Schweblin, though, is an artist of remarkable restraint… Schweblin renders psychological trauma with such alacrity that the conceit of a poisoned environment feels almost beside the point.” -Washington Post “A spare, hypnotic literary page-turner.” - O, the Oprah Magazine “Never have I ever been so afraid to read a book right before bed” - Marie Claire "Subtle, dreamy and indelibly creepy." - The Economist (Best Books of 2017) "A nauseous, eerie read, sickeningly good." -Emma Cline, The Girls he genius of Fever Dream is less in what it says than in how Schweblin says it, with a design at once so enigmatic and so disciplined that the book feels as if it belongs to a new literary genre altogether.” -Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker By the time I finished the book, I couldn’t bring myself to look out the windows…. I was checking the locks in my apartment by page thirty. “I picked up Fever Dream in the wee hours, and a low, sick thrill took hold of me as I read it. "Samanta Schweblin’s electric story reads like a Fever Dream.” - Vanity Fair “To call Schweblin’s novella eerie and hallucinatory is only to gesture at its compact power the fantastical here simply dilates a reality we begin to accept as terrifying and true. Schweblin’s book is suffused with haunting images and big questions.” - New York Times Book Review
