Coming in February, Grace by @amshine.bsky.social is an extremely disturbing, creepy gothic horror set on a bleak Irish island. This one oozes atmospheric dread and a terrifying twisting narrative. Highly recommend.

The wonderful A.M Shine is back with a haunting, atmospheric modern Gothic horror tale based on traditional Irish mythology.

To learn the truth, would you descend into hell?

Just finished Stay In The Light, and I'm happy to say that it wasn't just a fantastic read, but also a worthy follow-up to The Watchers. Atmospheric, eerie, spooky, and suspenseful, with great characters. Couldn't have asked for more! This is how sequels should be done 😊

Reading The Watchers actively felt like Shine was handing me a mug of hot chocolate and then stabbing me in the eye – not that I minded at all.

Stay in The Light by @amshine.bsky.social captures desperation and helplessness masterfully, leaking terror and infecting readers with a pervading sense of paranoia that comes with knowing the truth.
