Shivers
by Katherine Irving
ISBN: 1-59279-041-0 (Electronic)
ISBN: 1-59279-967-1 (Paperback)
Isolated mountaintop, unexplored regions of the Amazon, prosperous complex in Idaho, battered beachside apartment building, local swimming pool, abandoned house, an asylum, city bus line, kitchen, bedroom or the chilled drawers of the local morgue—nowhere is safe.
Housewife, distinguished doctor, tribal leader, father, lover, shadow, exterminator, spectral being, ghost, kindly granny, winter wind or the dead—no one can be trusted.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Evil will find them out in Shivers, a collection of short stories that explores the "What Ifs" in ordinary lives of unsuspecting people...

"Recommended...Rather than mention each story, I'll tell you what a few of my favorites are in this unusual collection. "Freeze Frame" is a unique look behind the doors of the so-called insane asylum. Who is really crazy? The ones on the inside or the rest of us on
the outside?..."Excavation" is truly exceptional. It's a whole new take on the UFO and little green men phenomenon. (And I live in Roswell, New Mexico, the UFO Capitol of the World, so I know whereof I speak. )..."Baby Daddy" is a shiver-summoning story of what may be in our society's near future and a new twist on the cloning controversy going on in our courts today...."Freak Of Nature" is a look at how nature sees us humans and what steps she
might take to fight back...."Slab Gab" scared the hell out of me. (Enough said—I just hope it's not true.)..."Everything Billy" is an untraditional ghost story with a real twist ending
reminiscent of Twilight Zone. But my two favorites of all of them is "Itty- Bitty," a most ingenious way to get the worst kind of revenge, and "Out Of The Blue," which is a surreal
tale of a circus and a clown that both scares you and makes you wish it was true. The story ideas in these last two are indeed among the freshest and most unique that I've read in a long time. If you buy the book just to read these two stories, you'll get your money's worth. I recommend this book for a shivery night's entertainment. But a word of caution—don't read them
alone—and-uh—leave the light on."—S. Joan Popek
"A love couple encounters tragedy in the cruel, icy hands of winter. A prodigy violinist turns out to be an infamous serial killer. A mother's love knows no morals. In the jungles of the Amazon nature criminals will pay a high price. A brilliant scientist and her
creation of baby embryos…crying to her from their frozen state… This is a collection of disturbing stories that will unsettle your dreams and tease your sense of the bizarre. Unhappy housewives who kill their husbands, evil cameras that make people disappear, lonely ghosts starving for human company, monsters in the pool, killer fish in the pond,unusual migraines, cloning, not-quite-dead corpses in the morgue, a psychotic, sadistic murderer who finally gets a taste of his own medicine…All these characters swirl together in a dark, unending vortex of
evil. Three stories particularly stand out in this collection: "Winter Souls," nominated for a Bram Stoker Award, "Warm Wet Kisses In E-Flat Minor," and "Itty-Bitty," winner of The First Annual Horror Authors Writing Contest. I highly recommend this book to lovers of horror and the
supernatural. In her distinctive and often darkly poetic style, Katherine Irving has woven a set of original, remarkable tales that will surely give you…Shivers. A fine and rare talent."—Mayra Calvani, Reader To Reader and Under The Covers
