Just Read: THE SHIVERS Collection (Amazon Original Stories)
As an anthologist, I am absolutely obsessed with short stories. There is a dear place in my heart for anthology in any form, whether compiled into one volume or delivered in individual servings, piece by delicious piece. Ever since Amazon Original Stories announced its new, curated horror line-up, The Shivers, I’ve been anxiously awaiting its arrival—and zoomed through all five stories the second they landed. If there’s one thing I can say for sure, it’s that any collection made up of Joe Hill, Stephen Graham Jones, Grady Hendrix, Catriona Ward, and Owen King is worth devouring.
Little gems, every one—though I will say that Grady Hendrix broke my heart!
Ruined by scandal, Dennis Lange is hoping for a comeback. Selling the story of a cursed tree could make his future—if it doesn’t kill him—in JACKKNIFE by Joe Hill.
The horrors of the modern workplace meet actual horror in THE INDIGO ROOM by Stephen Graham Jones. Don’t lose your head over office politic!
Residents have an unspoken pact with the island’s unnatural inhabitants: ignore them, live happily. But in Grady Hendrix’s THE BLANKS, one boy can’t look away—and pays the price.
In the gloom of her hotel, a mother readies to rejoin her past. Feverish nightmares meet the chilling light of day in Catriona Ward’s NIGHT AND DAY IN MISERY.
A helping hand, a fateful cost. In Owen King’s LETTER SLOT, the cost of living keeps rising—and it collects payment from the soul.
THE SHIVERS is available now from Amazon Original Stories.
