Amanda knows she has to answer the questions. Lying feverish and unseeing in her hospital bed, she tries her best to account for how she came to be there. She remembers the lake, the house, and the strange woman next door with her unthinkable confession. She remembers the fear of losing her young daughter, Nina. Now she is alone and Nina is gone. At what moment did everything go dark?

‘I picked up Fever Dream in the wee hours, and a low, sick thrill took hold of me as I read . . . I was checking the locks in my apartment by page thirty. By the time I finished the book, I couldn’t bring myself to look out the windows’ - Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker
