As anti-Asian sentiments sweep across the nation, an internee and her daughter find themselves grappling with a different type of epidemic of a mystical nature. Katsu’s upcoming novel The Fervor, set to be published on April 26, 2022, looks at the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II through a similar lens. Her 2020 follow-up The Deep uses a ghost story to connect the sinkings of the Titanic and Britannic. In her 2018 novel The Hunger, the members of the Donner Party are plagued by a mysterious evil in addition to the harsh weather and lack of food that doomed them in real life. It's impossible to discuss historical horror fiction today without mentioning author Alma Katsu, whose books often inject supernatural elements into true events that were already dark to begin with.
