1944, in remote Idaho, Meiko Briggs and her daughter are sent to an internment camp. It doesn’t matter that Aiko is American-born: They are Japanese, and therefore a threat to the American government. They cling to elements of their own life, as a mysterious disease spreads through the camp causing paranoia, violence, and death. When a team of secretive doctors arrive, they must team up with a newspaper reporter and widowed missionary to uncover the truth. Inspired by the Japanese yokai and the jorogumo spider demon, witness the danger of demonization and xenophobia.
The Fervor
£8.99
1944: Meiko and Aiko are taken from their home in Seattle and sent to an internment camp in the Midwest. It didn’t matter that Aiko is American-born: they are Japanese, and therefore considered a threat by the American government. They 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.
