Shivers is an outstanding collection of sixteen Canadian stories of the supernatural and the unexplained. Some of Canada’s best-loved authors have contributed to this compilation of classic and original tales. Some, like L.M. Montgomery’s “House Party at Smoky Island” and Timothy Findley’s “About Effie,” are an elegant and eerie look back at the past. Some, like Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens’ “CHIPS” contemplate chilling questions about the future. And some, like Vincent Starrett’s “Coffins for Two,” are a cool touch of black humour. All provide the enjoyment of an old-fashioned campfire ghost story, perfect for bedtime reading or a rainy afternoon.
