Chilling supernatural horror combining Japanese folklore with WW2
historical fiction from a multiple award-winning author. 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.
