Riverboats and vampires. What's that, you say? You need to know more? Sheesh. Tough crowd.
So, Abner Marsh is a riverboat captain who dreams of building the fastest boat on the Mississippi River. He finds a backer in Joshua York, and they become partners. Abner's dream is realized with the construction of the Fevre Dream, and they set out to make her reputation on a trip from St. Louis to New Orleans. York frequently has them stop at various points while he goes ashore on obscure errands, and Abner begins to wonder about his mysterious benefactor. Who only comes out of his cabin after dark. And who casually mentions having known Lord Byron personally ...
I'm normally indifferent to vampires. One could stock a large-ish bookstore with only vampire books. They're a dime a dozen. What makes this graphic novel good is that it's not just about vampires, but about people, and about a time in US history when riverboats were the cutting edge in transportation. The historical details seem to be well researched, and the whole era comes alive. Captain Marsh is an amazing character, worth the price of the book all by himself. Martin's take on vampires is slightly different from the norm, less supernatural and more superpredator. It makes for an exciting read. I'm not familiar with the original novel, but this adaptation was compelling enough that I assume it's a good and accurate version. There are a few points where the stylization of the artwork starts to get out of hand--the bit where the vampires take over the Fevre Dream starts going a bit crazy with awkward poses and wild hair--but overall, it looks good. There are a few points where I found myself wondering if Rafa Lopez is a fan of Carmine Infantino's work ...
Overall, this book was better than I expected, with compelling characters and a strong sense of the era in which it's set. Recommended!

7/10 en 2009.
le subo a la cuarta estrella porque empecé a leerlo sin saber qué esperar. Y va y nos mete en un barco a vapor por el Missisipi en el que un joven con ambición se ve envuelto en una atmósfera extraña que involucra unas personas raras que, obviamente, nos hace sospechar que son vampiros. Mira que somo listos los lectores.
Pero el caso es que tampoco queda tan claro y nos va llevando bastante enganchados por la narración. Mezcla rara, sí, pero atrayente. Echadle un tiento (al cuello, claro)

El sueño del Fevre es una de las primeras novelas de George RR Martin. Ambientada en el frenético desarrollo del vapor de vapor en el Mississipi, entronca esto con un mundo de vampiros bastante interesante.
La obra está magistralmente ambientada, unas pocas páginas bastan para sumergir al lector en el ambiente y los personajes de la misma. Y la trama es muy atrayente, con una compañía de vapores a quien desea rescatar un misterioso millonario y un grupo de vampiros que hace cosas realmente feas.
RR Martin, muy en su línea, juega al equívoco un largo trecho de la obra. ¿Qué relación tienen el millonario y los vampiros entre sí? Tal vez se exceda un poco demorando la solución al misterio, pero lo logra de forma convincente.
El tramo final de la obra, sin embargo, pierde fuerza, con un ir y venir entre buenos y malos y amos de sangre que durante demasiadas páginas no parece conducir a ninguna parte. Tampoco ayuda la batalla final, que carece de la brillantez propia de RR Martin.
En resume, El sueño del Fevre es una novela de vampiros bastante bien escrita, que se centra en los personajes y que tiene una forma de desvelar la trama que al principio resulta hasta brillante, si bien la parte final podría estar mejor.

It's probably sacrilegious to read a comic book adaptation of a novel without reading the novel first, but there you are. I've got enough GRR Martin on my to-read shelf right now without adding another one.
Fevre Dream doesn't exactly have an original take on vampires, but it does have an original setting. Though the book drifts in and out of Anne Rice country, it spends most of its time on the Mississippi River among the culture of steamboat life. Also refreshing is that the book treats its vampire and human characters with equal importance without having them fall in love with each other (which, given this book's characters, would have been gross).
A big plus to this graphic novel is that it doesn't feel like an adaptation. Usually, novels transferred to comics end up compressed and rushed. Daniel Abraham, an up-and-coming novelist himself, did an excellent job with the script.

This is a very nice graphic adaptation of the George R.R. Martin vampire/steamboat novel. (Martin has a thing for steamboats; see Mississippi Roll in the Wild Cards series.) The art is very good, and the prose tells the original story quite faithfully. It doesn't really add anything to the original, but it's well-executed and a fast enjoyment in the tradition of the old Classics Illustrated comics. Give this a try, and if you like it read the original prose novel to get the full deep effect.
I'd like to see a similar graphic version of his The Armageddon Rag someday.

Hace unos días terminé con el libro y me mandé a la novela gráfica para hacerme una idea de como eran los barcos a vapor y tal. Pero que decirles que no me gustó para nada ésta adaptación, me pareció muy escueta, demasiado simplificada. No le hace justicia a la obra original.

I've never really been a fan of vampires. I don't even read them anymore. The only vampire books I actually liked were Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Anything else after that feels derivative. The only merit with this collection, is that the setting is original, it's take on vampires isn't. Besides the protagonist, Joshua York, what a pushover. Have never read anything where the protagonist was such a passive character, I never felt anything for him, and Damon Julien, the antagonist, there's not enough of him to instill such pacifism in York, or his other subjects. Cap'n Abner seemed like the story's saving grace, but even he was handicapped by York's pacifism. If it wasn't for the setting and the excitement of the boats and their racing along the river, this would've been a one star. The Cover Art though, was cool.

A beautifully illustrated rendition of Martin's period piece sets the scene, taking you back to the bygone days of the pre-Civil War South. A period so rich with historic relevance and fecund with Bohemian debauchery and civil unrest, it is the perfect backdrop for a tale of timeless intrigue and enigma. Evoking the cloying, sweetly rotten excesses evoked in works by Rice and Harris, this reminded me of why I love supernatural fiction so much. None of the simpering foolishness polluting recent modern vampire romance knockoffs, Fevre Dream tells a scintillating, deeply personal tale of two men, interrogating such questions as what it means to be human, the nature of sacrifice, and the power of madness.

A vampiric tale circa 1857 in which blood flows just as freely as the water on the river to which the steam boats race.
The graphic novel adaptation of the original prose has some nice art but is hampered by predominantly indistinguishable generic-looking characters. Marsh, Joshua and a small group others aside, most share a likeness which made it difficult to follow what was actually happening and to whom. The story is moody, hauntingly atmospheric, and violent, yet the art didn’t do it justice.
My rating: 3/5, I’d suggest picking up the prose opposed to the graphic novel. Strong story which lacked the desired complimentary art – mood was too light and the character renditions too same-same.

I read the original novel years ago as a child, and I remember really enjoying it. I don't know whether my tastes changed or, more likely, this adaptation just isn't as strong as the original novel, but I didn't enjoy this quite as much as I did the original. That's not to say this wasn't good, as it was very good. As best I remember it is close to the novel without a while lot of revision.
It's hard to cross vampires with Mississippi Riverboats in the 1850s and not get a cool story, and the art isn't bad. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, then you probably will. I would recommend the original novel as well.

Comic bastante interesante. Buen planteamiento de los vampiros y la ambientación por el río está muy lograda. Sin duda es una lectura ligera y recomendable

I don't typically break down my reasoning for a rating, but there are aspects of this graphic novel that deserve high praise, and others that fall far short of a general satisfactory rating. Let's rip off the band-aid and knock out the low-lights first.
Art: 2 Stars. I have no idea what the main characters in this book look like. Sometimes it seemed like each panel was drawn using witnesses of the event being depicted. Each person remembers things differently, and that's certainly true of how people look. In one panel a man will look trim, fit and handsome. In the next, he has two chins and his ears have mysteriously disappeared. Wierd.
Editing: 2 Stars. For a professional publication, there were an inordinate amount of grammar and spelling issues. There is a difference between do and due, as well as guys and guise.
Now, let's talk about the story itself, which involves the original novel by George R. R. Martin and the adaption to graphic novel by Daniel Abraham.
Overall Story: 3 Stars. Martin crafted an interesting story here that takes vampirism into, while not a new direction, a realm that is much more interesting than almost all the Dracula derived works that have been written in the last 30 years. I won't go further because the details of the vampirism are a part of the story's evolution.
Adapted Story: 4 Stars. Abraham is a real talent. I have both series in my to-be-read pile and am looking forward to reading them. I've read some of his short stories and have yet to be let down by him. Here, he took a 3 star story and made it a 4 star horror that asks, what's a human? He constantly uses the advantage of this medium to compare and contrast the best and worst of who people are and what they can do to each other.
This wasn't the best work by either Martin or Abraham I've read. Not by a long shot. But it's good ... very good in Abraham's case. I'd say it's worth the read for fans of vampires, the Mississippi River before the Civil War and either author.

Reason for Reading: I received a review copy in the mail and while I hadn't requested it; it was a gorgeous looking book and I'm always up for a good vampire story.
I have not read the original novel which this graphic has been adapted from nor have I actually read anything by the author, George R.R. Martin, so this was new territory for me. A unique story set in 1857 along the Mississippi River during the heyday of the huge passenger steamboats. A down-on-his-luck, though widely respected captain, is met by a stranger who offers him a deal he cannot pass up. The man will give him the money to build the finest ship on the river, in exchange the man and a few of his friends will live on board and though they may be odd and will keep strange hours Captain Marsh is not to question them and while he will not interfere with the running of the boat he will occasionally give orders to dock and again he is not to be questioned. Captain Marsh agrees. Little does he know what he has got himself into!
This is a great vampire story. We have one small group of "good" vampires whose leader has managed to find a cure for the "red thirst", thus allowing them to live decent lives by night. There is also a much larger group which revels in its killing and slaughter, wanting to take over the world, keeping humans as their cattle. When the two groups find each other, it is a long fight between the Alpha's of each group with Captain Marsh caught in the middle.
I found this to be a page turner. Captain Marsh is an intriguing character, one who values honesty and loyalty. The art is beautiful, dark and even sensuous at times. This book is very much 18+ though, there are incredibly violent and gory scenes aplenty, along with full frontal female nudity, and some simply disturbing scenes, language oddly enough though, is mild. A fun, creepy horror story.

Well, I bought it for the author's name. I guess I walked right into that one.
This story does not work in graphic novel format. Or maybe it was simply executed poorly. Regardless: I might have enjoyed the story better if I had read the novel instead. Or if it wasn't about vampires. Or if my eyes weren't seared out of their sockets by some truly terrible artwork.
Seriously, I think the artist was dealing with a severe case of vertigo. Every panel is "shot" from a strange angle, causing the characters to be contorted into weirdly uncomfortable positions that look just sloppy. And the facial consistency from panel to panel is just terrible, to the point where if a character wasn't named somewhere on the page, I had no idea who they were. And all of them looked like their hair was underwater, waving about ephemerally. It was bad.
On top of the artwork being bad, I truly feel like this story was not meant to be portrayed in this format. I think some stories just have ideal formats ("A Song of Ice and Fire" reaches its full potential in writing rather than television, "Firefly" is better as a television series rather than a comic book, "The Walking Dead" is surprisingly a better TV show than comic book) and this was not the ideal format for "Fevre Dream."
The racism didn't bother me. It was a fact of the time and to ignore it would be ignorant and racist in itself. The main character's nonchalant attitude to abolitionism bothered me. The melodrama of the vampire politics bothered me. The unnecessary 20 year gaps in the storyline bothered me. It bothered me.
All in all, I'd give this one a pass.

Ojalá este libro se hubiera dedicado más a los vampiros que a los barcos, porque el lore que plantea sobre estas criaturas, aunque lo hace de manera muy superficial, es original y creo que, si se hubiera detallado y desarrollado más, hubiese sido una historia muy buena y con muchas posibilidades. Incluso un probable escenario para personajes y tramas muy duales, que son bastante característicos en las novelas de Martin. Pero es una historia de barcos y los vampiros están ahí simplemente haciendo sus cosas, no son los protagonistas.
La trama es bastante sencilla, no hay giros ni sorpresas. Además los personajes estan muy estereotipados y definidos por la línea bien/mal (algo que me ha extrañado por su autor), así que puedes anticipar como va a acabar y por eso hay muy pocos momentos de tensión. Realmente los personajes no tienen un propósito claro ni ambición y eso los hace parecer muy vacíos y sin vida (tiene gracia porque son vampiros). Yo los confundía todo el rato.
Se centra mucho en las descripciones de los barcos, las travesías de estos y todo lo referente a lo naval (tiene mucho lenguaje relacionado), algo que a mí personalmente no me llama nada la atención.

I discovered George R.R. Martin through a friend who recommended that I read the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, now more commonly referred to as “Game of Thrones”. I have to admit, after reading those five books I was expecting a bit more from this book. I’ve rated it 3 of 5 stars as it’s definitely worth reading. You can’t judge an author by a single work or in this case series which is why I decided to read some of Martins other works. I was about 150-175 pages in when it finally started getting to the plot, up until then it was a fun fact filled story about life as a steam boat captain on the Mississippi River in prewar mid-19th century. Don’t get me wrong, I love history and in another setting this would have been much more entertaining but this was supposed to be a book about vampires! From the midpoint of the book to the end it was really good, the classic struggle of good and evil with a twist of morality was well done, just took a little while to get there. Give it a chance and I think you will agree.

After finishing The Game of Thrones series, I struggled to find something adventurous and entertaining. I have read some very good books since then, but there always seemed to be Something missing. Martin's writing style just sucks you in and holds you rapt..much like the blood master in Fevre Dream. I have read a number of vampire novels from Anne Rice to the Sookie Stackhouse series and yes, even the Twilight series. Fevre Dream is much more than that. Martin's characters are so beautifully human and flawed. I wish my bookclub had chosen this novel for our October Thriller,

I got this on the strength of it being by George R. R. Martin as I love Game of Thrones, the tv show and the graphic novel adaptations, particularly The Hedge Knight, however I didn't like this.
It was basically about vampires (which disappointed me straight away as it's a rather overdone subject) on a steamboat(?).
He writes well and creates good characters with unique personalities, but this was boring and I laboured to get to the end.
I didn't find it interesting at all.

Crees que todo lo que escribe un autor puede ser bueno pero cuando cambia de género suele ser para estroperalo.
George RR Martin, borda el género ficción histórica con la epopeya medieval pero desbarra profundamente en el género fantástico con unas tramas que no enganchan ni terminan de cuajar.
No pude con la historia. Para olvidar

En una palabra: "formierdable!".
5 estrellas porque no puedo ponerle 10!!! Qué maravilla de prosa, de descripciones, de personajes... El capitán Marsh y Joshua se quedarán ya para siempre conmigo. Incluso Billy Vinagre y Julian. Ya era fan de Martin, pero con esta novela me rindo a sus pies. Ojalá verlo en pantalla, con esos majestuosos vapores surcando el rio Mississsipi

Me ha gustado mucho, quizás no lo puedo equiparar a lecturas de 5 estrellas pero no se aleja. Sería un 8/10. Los personajes me han gustado muchísimo, me los he creído tanto a los principales como a los secundarios, a medida que iban evolucionando iba viendo el crecimiento y profundizando con ellos. La trama está bien, no es lo que más destacaría pero ha cumplido con creces mis expectativas.

Truly did not care for this book. Didn't like the art, and thought the story was boring. I haven't read the original, but I'd say if it's any good at all, Abraham and Lopez owe Martin a serious apology.

Lo mejor que tiene es la ambientación, la oscuridad, Nueva Orleans y las criaturas de la noche, es lo que me ha atrapado. Respecto a la historia, pues sin más, esperaba algo más potente, pero no ha estado mal, y las ilustraciones son una pasada.

Very well drawn graphic novel and the story was quite interetsing. I was a bit let down by the end which seemed very rushed and too simple in resolution. Other than that, I enjoyed this a lot.
