Masterpiece

Excellent story. Excellent narration. Unique setting. Layered, nuanced, and intriguing characters. Not a typical vampire book.

Just another lame vampire story

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

So predictable. So lame.

Has Fevre Dream turned you off from other books in this genre?

Just too predictable

What does Ron Donachie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great character actor amazing vocal control. Way above this tripe.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Fevre Dream?

I would have rewritten it to be about the gothic of the south and some other layers of mystical perversion. The area is so witchy why not really go into a Fever Dream instead of an Anne Rice rip off.
