Finished the book Stay in the Light a couple days ago and I’m so sick about them does anyone else like A.M. Shine can you guys hear me-

[brokehorrorfan]

A.M. Shine will publish Stay in the Light on October 22 via Head of Zeus. It's a sequel to Shine's 2022's novel, The Watchers, which was recently adapted into a film of the same name by Ishana Night Shyamalan.

Described as "chilling modern twist on the Gothic horror novel," the 320-page follow-up will be available in hardcover, e-book, and audio book. Read on for the synopsis.

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?

The Watchers (A.M. Shine) "You can't see them. But they can see you.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams.

Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the Watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers, and why are they keeping the humans imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?"

Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (Korean scribes) "The Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (Korean: 조선왕조실록 (South Korea) and 조선봉건왕조실록 (North Korea)) are the annual records of Joseon, the last royal house to rule Korea. Kept from 1392 to 1865, the annals (or sillok) comprise 1,893 volumes and are thought to be the longest continual documentation of a single dynasty in the world. With the exception of two sillok compiled during the colonial era, they are the 151st national treasure of South Korea and listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World registry. The texts are also known as the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty or the True Record of the Joseon Dynasty. They contain every event of note which occurred in the court, no matter how disturbing, unpleasant, or downright embarrassing. Some examples: -One recorder hid behind a screen, so he could secretly record people complaining about the secret recorder. -King Taejong fell from a horse and immediately told those around him not to let a recorder know about it. Both the fall and his request were promptly recorded. -On multiple occasions, imperial officials led purges of scribes and academics based on what they read of themselves in the Records. This led to access to the records being strictly monitored and controlled."

Finished The Watchers by A.M. Shine. A good book, very creepy in spots (I had to leave off reading a few times and pace around a bit to get over my nerves) but I can see why M. Night Shyalaman wanted to make a film of it. It has WHAT A TWIST practically baked into it.

Quickie Review: The Watchers (book version)

I am pleased to report that the bungalow furnace started up and is functioning fantastically! I do have this fear that a bunch of cat hair is going to find its way into the pilot light, so I will be sweeping out the furnace closet asap. Not long ago, I reviewed the movie version of The Watchers here on the blog. When I went to see the movie, I didn’t realize that it is also a book! Description…

Ieia (S. L. Bickley) "The title character is a goddess who has been cursed to inhabit a statue. In a mild twist on this trope, she sees through the eyes of anyone who is looking at the statue. When more than one person (or animal) is looking at her, the views overlap, and when no one is looking at her, she has no senses at all. She is forced to watch her priestess be assaulted and kidnapped, her statue stolen, knowing that she has the power to perform one more miracle -- but then she will die."

'The Watchers' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. “The Watchers” is the feature film debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan. M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most polarizing directors of the past twenty-five years.  He caught lightning in a bottle early on in his career, and for the most part, he hasn’t been able to recapture that magic…

Suppressing a smile isn’t easy. The happiness always creeps out somehow. But sadness can be stashed under the skin like a dark secret
