What to expect
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.

The novel exudes melancholy and isolation, evoking dread over the ancient and unstoppable Watchers. The descriptions of loss are sharp... In the terrifying fantasy novel Stay in the Light, those who escaped the Watchers live with the consequences of their survival.

Steve Stred for Kendall Reviews
-
Action sequences play out like a supernatural version of John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13... a very atmospheric book, which develops the mythology explored in the original novel to something more fully formed
