Cemetery Dance Publications is proud to announce the eighth entry in this award-nominated and best-selling anthology series! In addition to the affordable trade paperback edition for general readers, this volume will also be published as a signed Limited Edition hardcover and a signed and traycased Lettered Edition hardcover, both of which will signed by the editor for the collectors!

Shivers VIII contains chilling fiction from many of today's most popular authors of horror and suspense including Stephen King, Bentley Little, Tananarive Due, Ray Garton, Laird Barron, Jack Ketchum, Kealan Patrick Burke, David Niall Wilson, Brian James Freeman, Alan Peter Ryan, Adam-Troy Castro, Bev Vincent, Keith Minnion, Norman Prentiss, and more than a dozen other authors!

Of special note to collectors: this special anthology will include "Squad D" by Stephen King, which was originally written in the 1970s for a famous anthology that was never published, and the story itself has been locked away in Stephen King's office ever since. Now, for the first time ever, the world can read King's chilling take on the ghostly, lingering horror of the Vietnam War.

Featuring original dark fiction with a handful of rare reprints, Shivers VIII is available only from Cemetery Dance Publications.

Another collection of excellent horror short stories edited by Chizmar

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am finding that I like (a lot) the anthologies edited by and the books written by Richard Chizmar.

This collection of 27 horror short stories and novellas was great fun to read. It was a diverse selection, to say the least, but I enjoyed all of them. Except one. One I just couldn't understand or get into. But I still think that 26 out of 27 stories being great is a very positive outcome.

One thing I do wish is that there was a story listing at the beginning of the book. The book dives right in with a story by Stephen King.

So I will continue to look for Chizmar books and I highly recommend this collection to horror lovers everywhere.

Many of the stories are really good, some only OK, some not very good at all. In total, decent read.

"Shivers" is great to keep on hand to read the stories when you have a few minutes.

I enjoyed this compilation of short horror stories. Some were better than others but rarely did I see what was coming and none were repeats or a rework of old stories. A great read!!
