Scantic Books is proud to present a thrilling story that's as timeless as it is current. Howard McCoy may have been exposed to COVID-19, so he abandons his seemingly happy life and isolates himself in a remote cabin for two weeks and examines the life choices that led him to that place. Which is more frightening for a semi-cynical, middle-age advertising executive: a pandemic or a deep look into his own life? Howard is about to find out. ----- "From Pepys to Camus to Saramago, pandemics generated a distinctive literature that is reflective of their times. John Sheirer's Fever Cabin proves just such a work for the current COVID-19 crisis, a window into the crisis itself and the society that slumbered as it spread. Fever Cabin offers a compelling and insightful antidote to cabin fever." - Jacob M. Appel, author of Einstein's Beach House. ----- "With language as tightly-wound as the protagonist himself, John Sheirer takes us on the physical, mental, and emotional journey of a man's quest for distance and connection: hiding out in complete isolation, confronting his past, pondering his future, and seeking answers to life's most troubling questions. This mini Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is raw and powerful, wonderfully crafted, and deeply satisfying." - Robin Stratton, author of Some Have Gone and Some Remain. ----- "An extraordinary tale of self-examination and personal discovery that will make us realize that we all have much more in common than we might think." - Herm Rawlings, author of Family Tradition. ----- All proceeds from this book will benefit The Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts COVID-19 Response Fund (to help people affected by the pandemic in the author's home area) and Feed America (to provide food assistance for people affected by the pandemic across the country).
