“It is not cold which makes me shiver” [SPEC]

We’ve all had moments when we’ve shivered. Perhaps it’s from being exposed to the cold for a while, so the entire body spasms in an effort to create heat. Or maybe it’s a tingle along our spine, brought on by something that scares us.

We trace the appearance of shivers and shivering in the Sherlock Holmes stories, to determine who was shivering and why. We even explore a little about origins of the word itself. It’s just a Trifle.

Our Merch Store is open: Trifles mugs, notepads, and oval stickers can be yours (or someone else’s, if you’d like to make it a gift).
