This modern supernatural horror novel revels in its menace. While Mina and her parrot strive to remain hidden from the Watchers, an archaeological excavation threatens to reveal all. Author A.M Shine is oh-so clever at twisting and corkscrewing tension until it thrums through you. This is the sequel to his debut The Watchers which is now a film produced by M. Night Shyamalan. You really do need to have read The Watchers before starting this novel in order to fully appreciate and have the full range of emotions flood through you as you read. As with the first novel, it feels as though this could be very real and that is what makes it so unnerving. This cleverly links to the legend of the Tuatha de Danann and I always enjoy novels that stray into myths as it heightens feelings of apprehension. Stay in the Light is an atmospheric, incredibly intense read that calls to those who love to dive headfirst into fear and suspense when they read.
From critically acclaimed Irish horror writer A.M. Shine, the sequel to The Watchers, now adapted into a major motion picture produced by M. Night Shyamalan.
YOU MAY HAVE ESCAPED... BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE FREE.
After her terrifying experience at the hands of the Watchers, Mina has escaped to a cottage on the west coast of Ireland. She obsessively researches her former captors, desperate to find any way to prolong the safety of humankind.
When Mina encounters a stranger near her home, she fears the worst - for she knows the figure is not what it seems. Soon, people she has encountered start to disappear.
Mina knows the Watchers' power is growing. She flees for her life, but when she reports her fears she finds her sanity questioned. Can she convince people that the Watchers are real, and ready to strike - or will she suffer the fate she has dreaded since she first encountered those malevolent beings?
A chilling modern twist on the Gothic horror novel, perfect for fans of Kealan Patrick Burke, T. Kingfisher and classic horror.
