This is the impossible choice Curtis must face as a sinister entity is thrust upon him. As the walls close in and the evil takes hold, he must act before his life is forever altered.
Curtis is haunted.
Curtis is afraid.
Curtis is... Cursed
The ideal read for fans of horror, mystery thrillers, possessions, and supernatural beings. The Grudge meets Drag Me To Hell, Cursed is the story of one man's relentless journey through darkness and isolation, as he discovers how far he's willing to go to save himself and those closest to him.
Cursed is a fairly straight forward horror novella debut from Leigh Kenny.
The unlucky protagonist in Cursed is a likable young man named Curtis, who is a trash collector, having an ordinary day in his workaday life until he unknowingly accepts a cursed object from a woman in obvious distress. Curtis notices strange symbols and markings on this otherwise run-of-the-mill cardboard box he has accepted, but still, he assumes it is only trash that she is asking him to take because it wouldn't fit in her garbage bin. He throws it away and thinks no more about it... until it reappears, and it's not as empty as he first thought.
I liked Curtis, and I anxiously awaited a solution to the curse he was saddled with. I wanted him to be ok. There were several chilling scenes as the curse took deeper hold, along with the suspense of "will he or won't he" be able to escape it's clutches.
This was a quick and creepy read and a praiseworthy first book.
My thanks to Leigh Kenny.
