About the Book

Some crooks are so cold they'll still be shivering in hell. Boris is a petty criminal who reluctantly comes back to the one place where everything always goes horribly wrong...home. Desperately needing a payday, he agrees to assist a former classmate in kidnapping the son of a corrupt judge as part of an ill-conceived plan to help an imprisoned acquaintance and score some quick cash. Predictably, the scheme blows up in their faces, forcing Boris to scramble to survive. With one partner in a coma (thanks to a bullet in the brain), and another turned homicidal maniac in an effort to cover his tracks, Boris allies himself with the judge's junkie son and a local working girl in possession of some very profitable secrets. Over the course of a snowy weekend in rural Kansas, the trio attempt to play their enemies against each other and cash in on the sordid skeletons hidden in the town's closet. But can they trust each other to stay out of their own way? Or will their insecurities cost them their lives?

Taking its cue from the work of Joe R. Lansdale, S.A. Cosby, and Jordan Harper, Shivering in Hell is the story of a damaged man struggling to survive in a harsh world made even more unforgiving by his own missteps. Featuring no shortage of shady deals, violence, sex, and dark comedy, it introduces a quick-witted and often unreliable narrator. Boris is not a good guy, but surrounded by even worse guys, even a bad guy is due for a break. Just ask him.



About the Author :
Patrick Glancy has published numerous short stories, and he currently operates two newsletters. Powder Blue Pulp is home to his fiction, featuring a catalog that includes crime/noir, sci-fi, fantasy, and personal essays, and Powder Blue Nostalgia mixes memoir with baseball history. He formerly wrote for Kings of Kauffman, and co-hosted the Librarian Historians podcast. By day, he is a mild-mannered librarian, and we cannot rule out the possibility that he fights crime with superpowers at night. Let's just say his wife has yet to find a cape in the laundry, and he sometimes struggles to open jars, so the odds are against it. He is married with three sons, just like the old TV show, and he tolerates the cat his wife insists on keeping, despite the fact that he sheds fur all over their house. That house is in the Kansas City metro area, and the lawn probably should have been mowed last week. Thankfully, the neighbors have yet to complain that he keeps putting it off to work on one of his weird stories. Shivering in Hell is his first published novel.

Review :
"A good, solid, enjoyable 'everything is f*cked' yarn..."-Charles Ardai Hard Case Crime
