**Mr Shivers by Robert Jackson Bennett - Preloved Paperback** Welcome to Depression-era America, where the dust bowls hide something far more sinister than economic collapse. This supernatural thriller follows Connelly, a man hunting the mysterious "Mr Shivers" - a figure who may be responsible for his daughter's brutal murder. What starts as a revenge quest becomes a nightmarish journey through a landscape where reality bends and ancient horrors lurk behind familiar faces. Bennett crafts a uniquely American gothic tale that blends historical fiction with bone-chilling supernatural elements. Think Steinbeck meets Stephen King, but with more style and less corn. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric horror, historical thrillers, or anyone tired of sparkly vampires ruining the genre. This well-loved copy from Patina Paperbacks has character - just like the story inside. Bennett's debut novel established him as a master of weird fiction and contemporary fantasy. *"Absolutely gripping from start to finish. Bennett creates an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife."* *"Finally, horror that doesn't insult your intelligence. Brilliant storytelling."*
