I like (in the following order):
Hanging Blimp, brilliant.
Marionette Mansion, love the idea but imo too many things left unattended and unexplained which absented the charm of momentary believability.
The Long Dream, a hint of Lovecraftian horror.
Honored Ancestors, vividly portrayed how I felt about marriage and reproduction under patriarchy.

Synopsis:
Shiver is a collection of short Horror stories ranging from phobias such as Trypophobia (fear of holes) to Globophobia (fear of Balloons).
Review:
These stories are so unique but are made so well! There were a couple that I wasn’t a huge fan of (Grease being one and Honored Ancestors being the other). However, I was introduced to Fuchi and Tomie who quickly became 2 of my favorite characters. Jean Pierre, the marionette, became the figure that haunted my nightmares for several nights.
My favorite story, however, was probably the hanging blimp because that’s the one that stuck in my mind for days to come!
