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.

她以绝美之姿行来——重读《热夜之梦》 近日,重读了乔治•马丁的《热夜之梦》。感慨良多,收获颇丰。现简单书写感受如下 三组人物: 两个视点人物:阿布纳•马什和比利•蒂普顿 在马丁的神作《冰与火之歌》中,我第一次见到了POV写法,其情节转换、观点多元与构思精巧...
评分第一次看热夜之梦,是在十四岁的夏季。 年幼的我甚至买不起它的单行本,从旧书店淘到一本打折为两元的科幻世界译文版,第一篇就是它。 译文版自然比不上单行本,可仍使那年的我深深震撼。 那是密西西比河上耀如恒星的梦想扬帆起航。几乎无尽的黑天与白日交替着为鲜血的洗礼而亘...
评分这是我第二遍读《热夜之梦》这个故事了,说实话,书很厚,但总能让人在不知不觉中将全书翻完。我也曾看过作者乔治•马丁其他作品,比如那部著名诗史奇幻《冰与火之歌》,依然带有奇幻色彩的太空歌剧《光逝》,均是十分出色的作品,无论故事长短,作者总能很好地把握着节奏,...
评分 评分三星半吧,设计的确还不错,但开头和结尾都较逊,而且人物不可爱
评分马丁一贯华美却又朴实冷峻的风格 勾勒出密西西比之梦 所有吸血鬼小说爱好者不应错过的经典
评分难道我没有写过短评吗?天,我爱马丁大叔的一切。
评分看过中文的译文
评分我很少能耐心读完一本外国的奇幻小说,热夜之梦就是个例外. 很耐看,并且是一部有其现实主张的小说.
