James Anderson is a man who lives in the past.
Since the death of his beloved wife, Margaret, he has stubbornly refused to move on with the times, rejecting new technology in favor of the old and familiar.
While she would love her father to live life to the fullest, Megan also cares for him as best she can. All her spare time is spent with her father or hunting down the VHS movies that provide all the entertainment he needs.
The day on which James' VCR dies is the day that changes his life forever.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born under a gloomy, grey, Scottish sky, it is perhaps no real surprise that darkness has always felt comfortable to John Watson. After countless hours spent in his local library, he found that he was more at home in the worlds of Clive Barker, Stephen King, and James Herbert than he was in his own. The need to carve out his own niche in the horror genre drove Watson to slice open his mind and let the words spill onto the page.

From donuts to mysterious karaoke bars in the middle of nowhere, Watson mines the depths of the ordinary to find the evil that lurks beneath the surface. He dares you to join him in his ongoing forays into the dark side

Watson is the author of Karaoke Night, Crueller, and Off The Grid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection!

Be Kind, Rewind grabbed me from the beginning. I instantly fell in love with Margaret and James. I enjoyed how they would pick at each other and act silly. A perfect relationship to me. One where you can still make each other laugh after many, many years together. The love they share is clear throughout the book. Watson did an amazing job with these two characters. Easily one of my favorite book couples.

The author always has a way of making you feel like you are in the story and this book is no different. Often, I felt like I was sitting in the same room as the main characters. Eventually tragedy strikes which was a jaw dropping moment for me. In typical Watson style he rips the rug out from under you and has you racing through the pages to find out what happens next. The ending was perfection and something I will not soon forget. You will be feeling all the emotions with this book! Watson stepped outside of his norm with this book and nailed it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Captivating Read
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

To be honest, I started this book with a reader’s block. I took advantage of the sample provided and enjoyed the tone and the imagery the author uses, so I decided I’d take a chance it would not end up in the ever growing TBR pile.
 
Luckily, I found myself being drawn in by the characters and the author’s easygoing style. It was so well written; it was as if I became a fly on a wall watching everything unfold.
 
Spellbound, I read it in one night. When I finished, I downloaded another book written by this author, Crueller, and read that the next night. To be fair, there was a sample at the back of this book and I couldn’t stop reading that either! I will read all of John Watson’s work soon. So thank you. Either this book cured my reader’s block, or it was just that good.

I was very eager to read this seemingly lighter side of John Watson. I always like to see an author stretching their writing wings.
The characters in Be Kind, Rewind were very engaging and had me chuckling along with their antics several times. I had a niggling feeling that something big was going to happen though, and it had me worried with each turn of the page. This book had it all: humor, heartbreak, suspense, happiness. I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down. What a great story!

I really enjoyed 'Be Kind, Rewind' from beginning to end. John Watson does a tremendous job of character development, and because of that, you can't help but feel empathy towards the people in this story. This author really impressed me with his ability to suck the reader in by creating an undercurrent of tension when faced by circumstances most everyone can relate to at one time or another. Very well written, and poignant, this novella left me thinking about it long after I had put it down. Bravo, well done! Look forward to reading more from this author.

I love John Watson's writing but this was very different from the 1st book I read of his. Not in a bad way at all!
I've come to expect horror and Be Kind, Rewind was a sweet and emotional ride, but still scary in its own rite. Watson just has a way of bringing his characters to life and you can't help feeling whatever he intends you to feel.....this is truly an author to watch for!

James and Margaret are amazing! Be Kind, Rewind is a little different from what I'm used to with John Watson, but I definitely was not disappointed. Get ready for an emotional roller coaster and of course the laughs. An amazing journey that I was happy to dive into.

I have read several stories by this author and each one elicits some type of emotion. This descriptive novella is lovely, the words gently tugged at my chest cavity, page after page. Well-done. Truly, looking forward to reading all of his upcoming releases.
