About this listen
Terrifying new horror novel from acclaimed author Iain Rob Wright. Are you brave enough to ride?
'Bright Lights' AJ Starr is a pro wrestler on the rise, and his life is about to change forever. Knowing this, he plans one last party with all of his best friends. The venue? Saxon Hills theme park, abandoned 10 years ago after its flagship ride burned down and killed nine innocent people.
Some people say the place is haunted, but AJ knows from his time inside the squared circle that fantasy and reality are totally separate things. Or so he thought.
AJ has no idea how nightmarish things are about to get, and eventually he'll be left wondering whether he brought his friends to Saxon Hills theme park to have fun. Or to die.

Good but not Iain's Best
After being completely gripped by Escape, I dove straight into Dark Ride with high hopes, especially since it was described as the next in the series. The premise was right up my alley—an old, abandoned amusement park setting that promised thrills, mystery, and a touch of nostalgia. Unfortunately, while the setup was intriguing and the ending wrapped things up decently, the journey in between didn’t quite deliver the same adrenaline rush I felt with Escape.
To be clear, Dark Ride isn’t a bad book. It has moments of tension and atmosphere, and Iain Rob Wright’s writing remains solid. But compared to its predecessor, it felt like a step down. Escape was unputdownable—I was hooked from start to finish. Dark Ride, on the other hand, started strong but lost some momentum in the middle, and never quite recaptured that edge-of-your-seat intensity.
If you’re a fan of Wright’s work or enjoy horror with a unique setting, it’s still worth a read. Just go in with tempered expectations if you’re coming straight from Escape. This ride had its moments, but it didn’t leave me breathless the way I hoped it would.
