Grace An ancient terror returns to a remote Irish island after a thirty year absence.

In his review of GRACE, @jonezyboy.bsky.social says, "It is incredibly easy to immerse yourself into an @amshine.bsky.social story and the beautiful manner in which he crafts sentences and brings the Irish landscape vividly to life." #booksky #amreading #horror

A.M. SHINE TALKS GRACE - THE HORROR ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE Grace by A.M. Shine is steeped in Irish mythology and Gothic horrorโ€”what inspired the author to blend these elements in this story? An unhealthy obsession with horror and history is probably to blame ...

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š

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

This is a fake account. Would anyone who sees this post please report it.

They've clearly just ripped photos off my Instagram.

And if they contact you, don't respond.

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.
