"IAIN ROB WRIGHT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME!" - JA Konrath
Alfie Everett is living his best life as a successful online content creator, exposing 'wolves' online with his friends. A wolf is an adult man or women who chats with minors online, grooming them and gaining their trust before trying to meet up with them in person and...
But Alfie never lets that happen. Instead of innocent young lambs, these predators only ever find themselves face to face with a camera and a folder full of evidence, exposing their faces–and their perversions–to a massive online audience.
Alfie's latest target is a wolf named 'Claypole83.' But this online episode is going to turn out very differently than planned. Claypole is an extremely dangerous individual, and it's a very very bad idea to piss him off.
Some wolves are not meant to be teased.
THIS BOOK IS A STANDALONE ENTRY IN THE 'CURSED MANUSCRIPTS' SHARED UNIVERSE
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. It is said that anyone who reads the stories will die, and as such they are now referred to as 'The Cursed Manuscripts.'
In December 2020, new manuscripts started turning up around the world. 'Bad luck' was one of them.
MANUSCRIPT 13/84-14 (INVITE THE WOLF).
Details below.
Manuscript 13/84-14, discovered March 2024 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by IT worker, Gil O'Brien, who found it stuffed between two active server racks at the company where he worked. Somehow, the written pages avoided being burnt. Six hours after discovering the manuscript, O'Brian was electrocuted to death while replacing a cooling fan. The following text was foundin the spam folder of his company email account.
