One of my favourites

Super story! As an Alton Towers fan, I enjoyed seeing a good dark ride coming to life in this Awesome Book. I didn't get to fully know the story of Emily Alton but I would love for this to be the real one. Keep making these stories! (Please make a Smiler or Wickerman one)

Nice short story inspired by the Alton Towers ride "The Curse at Alton Manor"
I enjoyed all the direct quotes & loved the nod to the previous versions of the ride. Would love if the author ventured into other Towers stories.

Only downside is just how short it is!

I love that this was written! I’m not saying it was the best way to write it, but there’s some fun imagery and a nice little inventive backstory for Emily. It makes me want to ride the ride again. Also some lovely snippety bits of Alton Towers lore which was fun.

Honestly really enjoyed this book. It sets Alton Manor as the focal point for the rest of the series which really creates an interlinked series feel. It also enhances the ride with the direct quotes and references to Duel
