I enjoy George RR Martin's writing but I've taken a bit if a hiatus with the 'Game of Thrones' series. The plot seems to meander and I just can't be arsed. I picked up Fevre Dream as an alternative. The novel was originally published in 1982 and it tells the story of Abner Marsh, a river boat owner on the Mississippi. He is approached by Joshua York, a mysterious man who wants to invest in his company and build a new Steamboat.
I'm not spoiling anything by saying that this is a vampire book. Vampire books are ten a penny but this one is not too shit. It's acutally a good read. And, unlike Game of Thrones, it has an ending. Always useful to have a story that ends.
