About this listen
The following contains mature content and language some may find offensive. Listener discretion is advised.
When the sacred is defiled, darkness awakens.
The Wallace family's vacation to a luxury game reserve in Zimbabwe becomes a living nightmare in this heart-stopping psychological thriller from visionary writer/director Nyasha Hatendi. Starring Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things, The Deliverance), who delivers a gripping performance in his Audible debut, Sacrilege: Curse of the Mbirwi (mBeerwee) plunges listeners into a world where ancient spirits collide with inner wounds and family secrets are as deadly as the strange beasts that stalk the savanna.
Lost in his headphones, self-absorbed teen Dashon Wallace (McLaughlin) never imagined that a strained family trip meant to bring everyone closer could unravel so completely. But when he unwittingly desecrates hallowed ground, he unleashes the Mbirwi, a vengeful entity born from centuries of colonial oppression. As possessed wildlife and shape-shifting horrors close in, Dashon must confront not only the supernatural threat but also the horrors of his own past to save what remains of his family.
Presented in spectacular Dolby Atmos, Sacrilege blends pulse-pounding suspense with profound explorations of identity and privilege to deliver a thriller as thought-provoking as it is terrifying. With its lush sound design and sensational ensemble cast, Sacrilege redefines the boundaries of audio storytelling, drawing listeners into an immersive experience they will not soon forget.

Great story & amazing performances!
This is not my usual type of audible. I usually listen to "book readings" and this was an immersive performance. I wasn't sure if I'd connect with the characters but they had me hooked from the start. I loved the indentity & family struggles. It was so relatable. The ending was perfect. This book had the perfect amount of gore and violence to convey the message without it being over the top although I was was scared many times throughout. 10/10

beautiful concept
I wanted to love this. the story is original, the production is really good, and the voice acting (especially Caleb McLaughlin) was very well done. But the writing felt a bit too simple for me. There was a lot of repetition around emotions... nearly everything Dashon felt came from “deep inside,” which lost its weight after a while.
Dashon is your classic angsty teen, and i know teens are alot but it made it hard for me to fully connect with him or care deeply about his arc.
What I did love was the concept and mood. I actually think this would’ve hit harder as an animated series. Visually, I kept imagining the scenes in that format, I think it would’ve thrived depicted that way.
Another thought i had while listening is I wish the cultural and spiritual elements had gone a touch deeper. It had something special at its core, but some of the moral and symbolic opportunities felt missed at times....
Also, they kept referring to “Africa” in this general way, when it’s clearly set in Zimbabwe. I would’ve appreciated more direct cultural grounding rather than the usual blanket label.
All in all i would and have recommended it to others. I think a lot of people will really enjoy the listen. It was good. Not perfect, but good.
