Contains “In the Porches of My Ears”

Cemetery Dance Publications
2009

“David Lynch-style horror”
—Booklist
“Shivers V starts off with a bang as Norman Prentiss describes a too-perfect family in ‘The Albright Sextuplets’; you’ll never be able to see TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8 in the same way again.”
—Horror Drive-In
“a refreshing take on the ‘creepy infant’ tale.”
