Shivers was a U.K.-based magazine published between 1992 and 2008. It was dedicated to horror movies, literature and occasionally, video games.
History
[edit]The publication took its name from the 1975 film of the same name by David Cronenberg.[1] It was published by Visual Imagination, and its inaugural issue appeared in June 1992.[1] The first 12 issues were edited by Alan Jones and the next 120 by David Miller. After David Miller left the company, the final half-dozen contained no editor credit. The last issue (number 138) was published on 14 May 2008.[2]
The magazine's regular features for much of its run included a news section written by Jones, an item called The Pitt of Horror by Ingrid Pitt, a book review section by David J. Howe, an opinion column by Kim Newman and an end-of-magazine film analysis called The Fright of Your Life originated by Cleaver Patterson and continued by Jonathan Rigby. Critic Alex Wylie was also a contributor.
