具體描述
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.

評分《热夜之梦》——以主流文学中都难得一见的大师级笔力写出的吸血鬼。 相比之下，齐余的吸血鬼故事诸如斯蒂芬妮·梅尔的《暮光之城》简直是简陋的惨不忍睹，土的掉渣，或者土的渣都不剩了…… 热夜之梦的故事背景是在美国南北战争前后，地点只在密西西比沿途。 而我读过的关于...
評分 評分人称“马丁大爷”的乔治·啊·啊·马丁以其挖坑深不见底至今仍在连载中的鸿篇巨著《冰与火之歌》 名扬四海，同时又因其心狠手辣虐杀书中角色绝不手软，与“杀人的田中”并称文坛两大血手屠夫。自从2011年《冰与火之歌》被美国HBO电视网改编为《权力的游戏》系列电视剧以来，人...
