ORDER A.M. SHINE'S CHILLING NEW NOVEL GRACE - OUT NOW!
An ancient evil stalks the streets of a small Irish community in this masterful tale of horror and suspense from the critically acclaimed author of The Watchers.
Superstitions only survive if people believe in them...
Renowned academic Dr Sparling seeks help with his project on a remote Irish village. Historical researchers Ben and Chloe are thrilled to be chosen – until they arrive.
The village is isolated and forgotten. There is no record of its history, its stories. There is no friendliness from the locals, only wary looks and whispers. The villagers lock down their homes at sundown.
A nameless fear stalks the streets, but nobody will talk – nobody except one little girl. Her words strike dread into the hearts of the newcomers. Three times you see him. Each night he comes closer...
That night, Ben and Chloe see a sinister figure watching them. He is the Creeper. He is the nameless fear in the night. Stories keep him alive. And nothing will keep him away...
Reviewers on A.M. Shine:

'Will appeal to fans of Kealan Patrick Burke, Josh Malerman, and Scott Smith.' A.E. Siraki, Booklist
'An ideal read for Halloween... or any time you want some spookiness in your life!' Beauty and Lace

This was great, up until the end. I have no idea what he was thinking with this ending. Some times, things do not need a more grounded explanation.

Wasn't my favorite book by any means. took me almost halfway to get hooked in, and then it was decent. preferred the Watchers I think.

A compelling storyline, but there are a couple plotholes. As with Shine's other books, I love how truth is scattered between different povs.
