PREORDER A.M. SHINE'S TERRIFYING NEW HORROR NOVEL GRACE NOW!
The spine-chilling, bestselling debut horror novel from A.M. Shine. Now adapted into a major motion picture produced by M. Night Shyamalan.
You can't see them. But they can see you.
This forest isn't charted on any map of Ireland. Every car breaks down at its treeline, and Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced to enter the dark and desolate woods. She discovers a woman shouting, urging her to run.
Mina reaches a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams.
The nightmare is only just beginning.
Mina finds herself trapped in a room with a wall of glass and an electric light that comes on at nightfall. Terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time, for night is when strange and sinister creatures emerge to observe their captive humans.
They are watching your every move...
Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers, and why are they keeping humans imprisoned, so keen to watch their every move?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a struggling artist takes an easy side hustle making deliveries, she’s hardly thinking about monsters in an Irish forest—that is, until she has to. In A.M. Shine’s gothic horror story, when Mina’s car breaks down on the edge of the Galway woods and a disembodied voice screams at her, that’s all it takes for her to get caught up with three strangers in a terrorizing spiral with no escape in sight. Imprisoned in a claustrophobic concrete bunker, they can’t see the nocturnal monsters who are stalking their hiding place. But Mina and the others can hear their bloodcurdling shrieks, becoming more desperate, hopeless, and paranoid night after horrifying night. Rooted in Irish culture and mythology, this is a story that reels you in, scaring you over and over until its chilling, twisty end.
Customer Reviews
Really enjoyed it
This is, by a wide margin, my preferred novel of Shine’s. It flows really well. I was excited to keep reading. The Creeper might be appreciated by die-hard lovers of the horror genre, but The Watchers could appeal to almost anyone.
Amazing read!
I couldn’t put it down! I read it in 2 days! Easy read, very descriptive, it feels like you’re right there with them. Highly recommend !!
