I can't read Alex's mind, but I read his comment as a joke. The author has us inside Jack's head here, so the sentence in question is, in my view, excellent showing. In this context, I wouldn't want a graphic, proctologist's view of the muscle clenching. Instead, we've got Jack's sensation of being afraid via the muscle clenching.
Yes, I did misunderstand Alex's comment. I was too close to the 'show n tell' lesson that I failed to see the tree.
