Abner Marsh has had his wish come true – he has built the Fevre Dream, the finest steamship to sail the Mississippi. Abner hopes to race the boat some day, but his partner is making it hard for him to realise his dreams. Joshua York put up the money for the Fevre Dream, but now rumours have started about his the company he keeps, his odd eating habits and strange hours. As the Dream sails the great river, it leaves in it’s a wake one too many dark tales, forcing Abner to face down the man who made his dreams become reality.
When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something's amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn't care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh's dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won't earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh's concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.Marsh meant to turn down York's offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York's mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare…and mankind's most impossible dream.Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire's quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman's dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.

热夜之梦。 开头几章看得昏昏欲睡,几读几弃。 故事的开头真的相当无聊,平铺直叙,无扣子,无悬念,更无矛盾冲突,甚至连新颖点的设定和人物都没有。如果说大量写实风格的汽船描写还能说是蒸汽机的情怀使然,那各种琐碎且无意义的细节、对话简直就是催眠药了。19世纪中期的蒸...
评分记不清是谁说过,三流小说写情节,二流小说写人物,而一流小说则写意境,我想这话大约不错。这么多年过去了,我已经记不清《夜访吸血鬼》的情节,连路易和莱斯特的形象也不再那么鲜活,然而我却忘不了那沉郁优雅的意境,忘不了那本书带给我的孤独和绝望。我想再过许多年,我也...
