Chilling supernatural horror combining Japanese folklore with WW2
historical fiction from a multiple award-winning author. 1944: As
World War II rages on, the threat has come to the home front. In a
remote corner of Idaho, Meiko Briggs and her daughter, Aiko, are
desperate to return home. Following Meiko's husband's enlistment as
an air force pilot in the Pacific months prior, Meiko and Aiko were
taken from their home in Seattle and sent to one of the internment
camps in the Midwest. It didn't matter that Aiko was American-born:
They were Japanese, and therefore considered a threat by the
American government. Mother and daughter attempt to hold on to
elements of their old life in the camp when a mysterious disease
begins to spread among those interned. What starts as a minor cold
quickly becomes spontaneous fits of violence and aggression, even
death. And when a disconcerting team of doctors arrive, nearly more
threatening than the illness itself, Meiko and her daughter team up
with a newspaper reporter and widowed missionary to investigate,
and it becomes clear to them that something more sinister is afoot:
a demon from the stories of Meiko's childhood, hell-bent on
infiltrating their already strange world. Inspired by the Japanese
yokai and the jorogumo spider demon, THE FERVOR explores a
supernatural threat beyond what anyone saw coming: the danger of
demonization, a mysterious contagion, and the search to stop its
spread before it's too late.
