ALL THE BETTER TO READ YOU WITH
Twenty curses, old and new, from bestselling fantasy authors such as Neil Gaiman, Christina Henry, M.R. Carey and Charlie Jane Anders.
It's a prick of blood, the bite of an apple, the evil eye, a wedding ring or a pair of red shoes. Curses come in all shapes and sizes, and they can happen to anyone, not just those of us with unpopular stepparents...
Here you'll find unique twists on curses, from fairy tale classics to brand-new hexes of the modern world - expect new monsters and mythologies as well as twists on well-loved fables. Stories to shock and stories of warning, stories of monsters and stories of magic.

These are my favorite stories
As Red as Blood, as White as Snow by Christina Henry- a darker retelling of Snow White. What if Prince Charming wasn't as charming as advertised? What about that poisoned apple? Great take on an old classic.
Listen by Jen Williams. A new delicious tale with a musical curse that just goes on forever, Great main character.
Faith & Fred by Maura McHugh What a creepy multi-generational curse story, I felt bad for eveyone in this story.
Wendy, Darling by Christopher Golden HOLY CRAP this was a great dark story. My favorite!
Again by Tim Lebbon I've read and enjoyed some of this authoor's other works but this is a story I didn't expect from him. Actually for a curse story it's actually rather beautiful and sweet with a slight twist when you realize what's going on
