Okay, I know people have concerns about "Vanity Publishing." Or whatever term we wish to use for independent publishing. Self-publishing. Whatever. And they are legitimate concerns. I do not want the bookshops to fill up with spelling errors and even worse fantasy. I would never really buy a book off some random dude on the Internet. But Kevin Fanning is not a random dude.

I'm going to ramble in this review. Just want to warn you all up front.
I didn't think I'd ever get to read Fever Dream Ghost Book.
I don't remember when exactly I started reading Kevin Fanning's work - I don't remember a lot of things, and maybe that's why I identify with his work so much, or maybe it's the fact that he has roots in Connecticut, where I've lived my entire life, or maybe it's just that kfan's a phenomenal writer. I don't know. I do know that when I got into Kevin Fanning, he had r...more

If you are going to write one of those books the universe has preordained for me to read, you should name it “Fever Dream Ghost Book.” And then you should be Kevin Fanning. So, bad luck for you, because you are not Kevin Fanning.
I’ve been saving this special for October. It was worth it and then some.

What I learned from this book is that not all ghosts are scary, some are sad and some deserve sandwiches.
Haunting, lovely, with a dash of humor. This collection of stories and vignettes was a pleasure to read.
I keep thinking about the father ghost communicating to his son by way of a goat hand puppet and the dream where you are running through a house with countless secret rooms and at the last minute gain two uneasy, unasked-for sidekicks. But my favorite was "Icy Death," which I found hilarious with its ice cream and eye rolls. This collection is available in Kindle format.
I love how Kevin Fanning writes these little stories. There's a wonderfully personal voice to them.
This is the first book I bought for my new Kindle. It was creepy in exactly the right way.
