Fever Dream

Samanta Schweblin

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we’re loving and reviews from our contributors. Fever Dream by Samantha Schweblin is a supernatural tale following Amanda and David, as they try and reconcile the trauma that has led to Amanda to be on her deathbed.

What We Say: Part modern horror, part love story, this nightmarish novel about a young woman recounting her astonishing story from her death bed covers themes of maternal anxiety and ecological disaster. It will grip and haunt you in equal measure.

What They Say: “Samanta Schweblin’s novella is a skilfully paced and intricate omen that tears not just at ecological anxieties but at the core of maternal love” – The Times Literary Supplement
