I got out of bed to see what was the issue, and found my son standing alone, in the dark, in the middle of the living room, with his eyes closed, saying papa over and over again. I carried him back to bed.
Fever Dream is from that place of 'creepy kids', but much more. The main structure is a kind-of interview with a mother of a child who has to figure out what happened, everything is foggy and she cannot remember, her mind is fog. The reader is being kept in the dark and has to figure out what happened at the same time. The mother has somehow lost her daughter, and her neighbour's extremely creepy son has something to do with the disappearance.
It's good that this book is so short, because the dialogues-within-interview structure can get exhausting, but the atmosphere is on point, and it really feels like being stuck in a fever dream, just *dense*. Very good....more
