Read full description

A haunting tale of ancient evil and long-buried secrets in an isolated Irish community from the author of hit horror novel The Watchers .

SHE ESCAPED ONCE. NOW IT WANTS HER BACK.

Everyone living on the island feels it. There are no visitors anymore. No children. No one willing to set foot there. Then Grace arrives.

She's come to learn the truth about her birth parents and, in her search for answers, she soon feels the presence too – something lurking beneath the surface.

The community is secretive, but one thing is clear: they are scared for her – scared of her. Because her arrival has awakened something they thought dead and buried.

Now, it knows she's here. It's watching her. And it wants to keep her.

A haunting, atmospheric modern Gothic horror tale set on a lonely isle off the Irish coast, Grace is perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Adam Nevill and Catriona Ward.

How we calculate this

These are editorial estimates of intensity, informed by reading and review evidence, then checked before publication. They aren't star ratings, reader-vote averages or a measure of quality.

Each dimension runs from 1 (low) to 5 (exceptionally intense). A 5 is reserved for strongly consistent evidence. People experience horror differently.

Scary: Fear, tension and immediate threat.
Creepy: Unease, dread and an uncanny atmosphere.
Gore: Graphic injury, blood and bodily detail.
Disturbing: Upsetting ideas and lingering psychological impact.
Weird: Surreal, strange and reality-bending elements.

We draw a filled profile only when all five scores have been reviewed. Unrated does not mean mild. Missing scores are not estimated from genre tags or your saved taste. This profile isn't a complete content-warning guide.
