I have been pondering picking up The Watchers for awhile - it catches my eye every time I go into a bookstore and see the gorgeous red edges. As a horror fan, I love a claustrophobic tale filled with tension and terror, and The Watchers fits the bill. Although I had some issues getting into the book at the start (it is written in a much more literary style than I am used to when it comes to horror books) and have some serious questions about the mechanics of the ending, it's a book that I really enjoyed.

Read this if you like: 
-Literary horror
-Claustrophobic and intense books
-Irish folklore
-More twists and turns than a country road (please stay off the country roads)
