La extraordinaria primera novela de Samanta Schweblin, en la que se basa la película homónima de Claudia Llosa para NETFLIX Hipnótica, incómoda y atrapante. PREMIO TIGRE JUAN PREMIO OJO CRÍTICO NOMINADA AL PREMIO MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL El campo ha cambiado frente a nuestros ojos sin que nadie se diera cuenta. Y quizá no se trate solo de sequías y herbicidas, quizá se trate del hilo vital y filoso que nos ata a nuestros hijos, y del veneno que echamos sobre ellos. Nada es un cliché cuando finalmente sucede. Distancia de rescate sigue esta vertiginosa fatalidad haciéndose siempre las mismas preguntas: ¿Hay acaso algún apocalipsis que no sea personal? ¿Cuál es el punto exacto en el que, sin saberlo, se da el paso en falso que, ahora sí, nos condena? Samanta Schweblin ha escrito un relato extraordinario e hipnótico, urgente y perdurable, que logra mantenernos inevitablemente atrapados y sumergirnos en un universo de ficción estremecedor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired Fever Dream, a NETFLIX original film directed by Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow) "Genius." —Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker "Samanta Schweblin’s electric story reads like a Fever Dream." —Vanity Fair Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize! Experience the blazing, surreal sensation of a fever dream... A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He's not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family. Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.

Esta historia fue extraña, probablemente una de las más raras que haya leído; pero me gustó. La forma como está narrada es diferente y le agrega valor a los temas principales que se tratan en ella.
3.5:
I finally got around to reading this book! It was so creepy!
From the recs I got, I was expecting a feeling of unease and full body shivers. I did not get that, for the most part, and in fact, I was ready to give this a solid three stars. But there were two instances in the book that gave me the chills. And they were so good I'm bumping it up.
The first one was the way a scene was painted. It involved a little girl and contorted expressions . I'll say no more. The second one was within the last three pages and like, there was foreshadowing, it made sense, and yet I think it was the wording, maybe? I don't know what it was, but BRO. I felt a cold zap right through my whole body, and it made it all so worth it.
It's a pretty short read and, while it was slow at times, and I expected something different, it's well worth the read if you want a quick scare.
