Do you see the point of the story, Nathan? We all cut parts of ourselves away, but we never lose them. Things stay with ussouvenirs with memories attached. We can't always choose what to keep, what to throw away.

“I particularly liked Norman Prentiss's ‘In the Porches of My Ears, ’ a sweet sad story about a couple at the movies and their reaction to another couple: a blind man and his wife, who narrates the entire movie to him.”

“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.”
