The story
Evil can’t be contained.
Simon “Sim” Barker and his girlfriend Chrissy have built a huge following exposing true-crime stories on YouTube.
Their lives change when billionaire tech magnate Evers Nealy offers them an opportunity no true-crime creator could resist: an exclusive tour of a top-secret project on a private island in the English Channel.
The facility is called The Keep.
Inside are more than thirty of the most notorious serial killers ever captured — murderers, torturers, predators and psychopaths gathered from across the globe and locked away for study.
The public knows nothing about it. Nobody is supposed to.
But secrets escape. And monsters do not like cages.
As security begins to fail, Sim and Chrissy find themselves trapped on an island filled with humanity’s worst nightmares.
The killers are watching. The cages are opening. And survival is no longer guaranteed.
The Cursed Manuscripts
Ten standalone nightmares. One cursed universe.
Each Cursed Manuscript tells a complete horror story, but all ten books belong to the same wider universe of impossible events, dark artefacts and ancient evils.
Book five of the curse
“If we turned serial killers into entertainment, how long would it be before the audience became part of the show?”
Maniac Menagerie is a high-concept collision of serial-killer thriller, survival horror and failed containment — a human zoo where the exhibits refuse to stay behind the glass.
