Fever Dreams by Dev Solovey
Thaddeus Morozov’s sister tries to sacrifice him to a dark god—but she doesn’t quite finish the job. As he fights for his life in a medically induced coma, the dark god puts him through a gauntlet of nightmares, each more horrific than the last. He has help from the surgeons trying to piece him back together, as well as a mysterious protector who appears in the form of a sparrow. But if he loses, the sacrifice will be complete.
Violent, edgy, and unabashedly queer, Fever Dreams is the debut splatterpunk novella from indie horror author Dev Solovey. It’s a biting commentary on the Trans Moral Panic, explored through the eyes of a transgender boy who will fight tooth and nail to survive—with plenty of blood and gore spilled along the way.
