His writing, fueled by a passion for classic horror and a master's in history, intertwines the macabre with Irish culture, landscape, and language.

In A.M. Shine's chilling sequel to The Watchers, Mina escapes to a cottage in Ireland, haunted by her past. As she investigates the Watchers, her elderly landlords vanish, and a sinister presence emerges. Struggling to prove her sanity, Mina faces escalating terror. A gripping modern Gothic horror for genre fans.
"A claustrophobic horror adventure set in the remote unknown forests of Galway, where mysterious creatures keep humans as pets for observation. 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 these creatures keeping them imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?"--
