swingbeat 26/26: Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin

Yet another book by Martin, and he doesn't disappoint! There's no way I can tell you guys the setting without making it sound lame so I'll just go ahead and tell you - there's the Mississippi, antebellum New Orleans, steamboats, and vampires. :)

Now I'm normally a fan of vampire stories, and that's why it took me so long to get to this book. But I'm glad I did. There is the unlikely friendship between a vampire and a steamboat captain, and how their partnership affects the state of vampire-human interaction; all in the 1850's.

What a setting, and what a story. Martin's writing does not disappoint; I hope he continues writing books like this in the future. Highly recommended.
