The Cursed Manuscripts: Books 1-6: Witch, Zombie, Hell Train, Maniac Menagerie, Ghosts, Bad Luck

by Iain Rob Wright, Aubrey Parsons (Narrator)

On December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan Calendar, the world was supposed to end. It didn't. But on that day, 113 mysterious manuscripts were discovered around the world, each one written in blood by an unknown author. After several dozen unexplained deaths befell the finders of said manuscripts, a decision was made to lock them up for good in a secret vault beneath the Vatican. In December 2020, new manuscripts started turning up around the world. This combined collection features 6 of them. Listen at your own risk.

[MRS G · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not going to retell the storylines, as the synopsis does that. These are 6 different tales of thought provoking horror, with slightly interlinking connections. (So I was pleased to read all these back to back, as it was much easier to remember the previous characters to pick up on the connections.)

Overall I thought the tales were great. Some clever thought provoking messages running through them all.

Sometimes the stories wandered around the block a bit, but overall I did really enjoy them all & read the whole series very quickly.

I'll definitely be reading more of Iain Rob Wright's books. 🌟

This was a great read. Different stories in one set. Cannot pick just one to claim as my favorite. I almost read straight through the night. Finished the last two the next day. Ian has became my favorite author. You must read. Trust me.

[Martha Leblanc · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not for me

Sorry but the vulgar language and sexual situations are not pleasant to read and distract from the plot and characters.

[Kelsey Bodenhamer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, scary, graphic scenes. I really liked the connections from one story to the next. He’s a new favorite author.
