Hark to the cherished CBC Radio As It Happens ritual of rebroadcasting Alan “Fireside Al” Maitland’s 1979 reading of Frederick Forsyth’s supernatural aviation story, “The Shepherd,” on its final program before Christmas, past and present. Enter Montreal-raised and New Westminster-based writer, broadcaster and former CBC Radio producer JJ Lee, who re-wraps this Canadian tradition in Shivers: Christmas Ghost Stories to Read Aloud (Tidewater $22.95). The collection showcases a dozen new, broadcast-bred ghost stories, turning radio listeners into fireside readers invited to become storytellers in the comfort of their own homes. 9781990160714
