A dark, claustrophobic read
*T. Kingfisher*
Readers get an intimate glimpse into the fraying edges of each
character's psyches, the constant hunger, the paranoia, the loss of
hope, and far worse... A combination of supernatural and
psychological horror, The Watchers will appeal to fans of Kealan
Patrick Burke, Josh Malerman, and Scott Smith
*A.E. Siraki, Booklist*
This book has such atmosphere, and creepiness, and is an ideal read
for the Halloween season, or any time you want some spookiness in
your life!
*Beauty and Lace*
A fantastic horror concept
*Hollywood Reporter*
Intense and thrilling, The Watchers is a great debut and solid
addition to the survival horror sub-genre
*Read By Dusk*
A brisk, at times scary but thoroughly enjoyable read
*Bloody Flicks*
A clever, highly original story beautifully written
*The Untidy Bookshelf*
The Watchers was a punch to the jugular... The author pulled out
the rug from under me on more than one occasion. A must-read for
the spooky season!
*The Coy Caterpillar Reads*
Shine writes of trust, betrayal and heartache with a skilful
hand... will appeal to slow-burn horror fans, especially those who
enjoyed films like Get Out, The Ritual and The Descent –
nail-biting and creeping throughout
*Grimdark Magazine*
