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. Read at your own risk.
Book 1: Witch
In an effort to escape a pack of local bullies, best friends, Ashley and Jude, decide to brave Devil's Ditch, a place deep in the woods that everyone says is haunted by something ancient and evil.
At first, everything seems fine, but then they discover an old farmhouse covered in weeds. Inside is a naked woman in chains. Her name is Rose, and there's something not quite right about her.
Book 2: Zombie
After a terrible night of arguing, young married couple, Laura and Danny, drive home with their daughter, Rose, asleep in the back seat. Danny is drunk, and shouldn't be driving at all, but Laura keeps quiet about it. She always keeps quiet. There's no point making her husband angry. That would only make things worse.
What happens next will put Laura's strained marriage to the ultimate test as she and Danny find themselves broken down in the middle of the night on a lonely road. Their only hope for survival is to stay inside the car, because there are cannibalistic maniacs outside trying eat them.
Book 3: Hell Train
Clip and Xavi are students in love, and have just boarded a train in order to catch their afternoon lectures. But they aren't going to make their destination. Somebody has other plans for them.
The world is about to stop making sense, and Clip and Xavi's bright futures are going to be cut very short. There are dark and evil dangers aboard the train beyond their understanding, and for some reason the lights keep going out. Strangest of all, the train has just entered a short tunnel but doesn't seem to be coming out the other end. It's almost like the tunnel goes on forever. And ever. And ever.
Book 4: Maniac Menagerie
Simon ‘Sim’ Barker and his girlfriend Chrissy have a successful True Crime YouTube Channel, but one day their whole world changes when Billionaire Tech Industrialist Evers Nealy invites them to visit what he calls 'The Keep,' an isolated island facility in the English Channel.
Little do they know that this place is beyond their wildest nightmares and harbors more than thirty of the most sadistic serial killers ever known, all caged up in one gruesome menagerie. What could possibly go wrong?
Book 5: After a spate of gruesome teenage deaths–all seemingly connected to a new online trend–bizarro reporter and perpetual man-child Shane Mogg employs the help of his only friend and fellow journalist, Ed, to help him investigate just what in the 'hell' is going on.
Rumours suggest the dead are returning, brought back by careless words and youthful folly. Ripped from Hell or pulled from Heaven, only one thing is certain–they are angry. The dead are always angry.
Book 6: Emily Carlton's life is a relentless cycle of boredom. Single, broke, and trapped in a job she hates, she yearns for a little excitement. That's why tonight is so important. Planning to reunite with old friends for a party on the beach, she might finally get the excitement she's longing for...
Yet, what begins as a night of fun and laughter soon spirals into a nightmare when one of Emily's friends, high on drugs and inexplicably furious, racially targets a group of immigrants. The repercussions of the attack are harrowing, and Emily and her friends find themselves facing the worst kind of revenge—an ancient curse that unleashes the darkest form of misfortune. Deadly misfortune.
