Each piece focuses on bugs in one way or another, though that term is taken as broadly as possible. Most of the pieces are short, one-hundred-word stories or poems, but there are a few longer non-fiction pieces interspersed between the short pieces to give some balance to the anthology. Overall, it\u2019s an entertaining collection.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing that stands out about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick Shivers About Bugs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the formatting. A lot of time and effort went into this book and its slick presentation. The pages are mostly full-colored illustrations working with the text and titles of the pieces. The art chosen serves to heighten the pieces and only occasionally distracts the reader. Overall, it\u2019s a nice production that will appeal to the reader. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the pieces are clever, and use the one hundred word format well. Some are based on shock value or similar tactics, and a few teeter into clich<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00e9<\/span> language and tired horror standards, but many of them are fresh enough for readers to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the longer non-fiction pieces add depth to the anthology by providing a rich perspective on the idea of bugs. Most of these are focused on bugs in cinema, whether it be the horror movies of the 1950s or modern films that work within the bug genre. Others deal with man\u2019s relationship to bugs, particularly maggots and other carrion eaters, exploring why we fear bugs and why they\u2019re staples of horror.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick Shivers About Bugs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a fun, entertaining read. The pieces are short enough that, if a reader is disinterested or upset, they can easily flip to the next one without feeling cheated. There are plenty of pieces in this book to appeal to every type of horror reader, and while there are a few duds and clich<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00e9<\/span>s, the bulk of the book is very well done. Add to that a really shiny production, and readers will thoroughly enjoy this book. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Shivers About Bugs\u00a0edited by\u00a0James Leach and Janice Leach Cosmonomic Multimedia\u00a0(March 2016) 80\u00a0pages, $15.00 paperback Reviewed by\u00a0Joshua Gage Quick Shivers About Bugs is a horror anthology based on articles published at Daily Nightmare.
