Where you can order Megan Abbott's upcoming THE FEVER - which you won't want to miss

This is the first in a series of posts promoting books of authors who have been 'blacklisted' from Amazon - in a dispute over terms, Amazon is not allowing pre-orders for any books published by Hachette and its imprints. (Other Hachette authors' books have been put on 'delayed' shipping - one to three weeks - with prices increased to full price.)

Politics and business practices aside, this is seriously harming authors, since around 50% of all book sales occur through Amazon. And pre-orders are very important in determining a book's success. But there are plenty of other places to buy books, and this is the time to turn to them.

You aren't going to want to miss Megan Abbott's THE FEVER, coming out June 17.

The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hocky star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community.

As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.

"A chilling story about guilt, family secrets and the lethal power of desire, THE FEVER affirms Megan Abbott's reputation as "one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation." - Laura Lippman

"THE FEVER holds true to its title: It's dark, disturbing, strangely beautiful and utterly unshakeable.  Megan Abbott has created a mesmerizing, modern portrait of teenage life today: Brutal crushes, competing allegiances and first-bloom sensuality, all magnified by the rush and crush of technology." – Gillian Flynn
