![]() Maybe, I’m not sure, it’s been some time since I’ve read any Twain, I don’t see a Huck figure in Fevre Dream, but the atmosphere of pre-Civil War South – definitely is here. Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain, one might say, or even Huck Finn Meets Dracula. (…) historical horror novel about vampires on antebellum Mississippi river steamboats. ![]() A very good book described by its author as: My latest encounter with Martin is his 1982 350p standalone Fevre Dream. Shared-universe superhero series Wild Cards is very cool, but I’ve read only one book so far. I did not care for The Armageddon Rag, I enjoyed le-guinesque Windhaven a lot. As far as I’m concerned, his other works are a bit of hit and miss. ![]() I even agree with Gaiman that Martin is not my bitch (there is also a song). I’ll read them, I’ll get hardcovers to match my copies of the previous ones, but I’m philosophical about it. Years later, watching Arya in the opening episode of season seven, I got my revenge… I’m not really that bitter about the delays, I don’t think final instalments could reach the level of books 1-3, anyway. ![]() It was, at times, a painful experience, and the Red Wedding made me very, very angry. Martin… whether he finishes Song of Ice and Fire or not, his series gave me a few good moments and changed the way I look at epic fantasy. ![]()
