“The story is unsettling enough, yet Hillary Huber’s reading adds additional chills for the listener. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel. Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family. A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. "Genius." -Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker "Samanta Schweblin’s electric story reads like a Fever Dream." -Vanity Fair Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize! Experience the blazing, surreal sensation of a fever dream.
