William Hackman is very good at his job. He fires people without flinching, destroys careers without apology, and sleeps without dreaming. When his firm rewards him with a promotion and he rewards himself with a mansion no one else will buy, he expects more of the same. The house has other ideas. The Man Who Could Not Shiver is a dark psychological novella-Patrick Bateman meets the Brothers Grimm-about a man who has spent his life proving he feels nothing, and what it costs him when something finally proves him wrong.
